New Hampshire High School Students Sing KKK-Themed 'Jingle Bells'—And People Are Livid

New Hampshire High School Students Sing KKK-Themed 'Jingle Bells'—And People Are Livid

A YouTube video is showing students at Dover High School in New Hampshire singing a Christmas jingle with KKK lyrics.

People are outraged about the lack of thought that went into assigning this as a project.


The class of 11th graders were assigned to create a catchy little ditty based on the Civil War Era. A few students sang about the creation of the KKK to the tune of "Jingle Bells," and the results were as horrible as one would imagine.

The lyrics of the chorus start with:

"KKK, KKK, let's kill all the blacks..."

Dover School District Superintendent William Harbron told NBC News that the assignment was given out for U.S. history class and the students came up with the lyrics:

"White masks on our heads, blood beneath our feet, laughing till they're dead -- ha, ha, ha"

The students did not know they were being recorded, the superintendent said.

Harbron went on to add:

"The principal became aware of the situation late Friday and began working with the teacher. Right now we're dealing with the immediate need of communication out [and with] the emotions surrounding the situation."


The district released a letter on Facebook:

The video of the performance can be seen in the video below.

Ebony Magazine is reporting that the teacher who assigned the project, and did not stop the performance when it became clear the direction the offending song was taking, has been put on paid leave.

Once again people find themselves horrified by more racist behavior in 2018.













There needs to be some long discussions happening within American schools.

We've all heard the questions about what happens when we die, whether there is life after death, and whether we really will walk through a tunnel of white light or not to get there.

But people who have had a near-death experience, in that they were declared clinically dead and were then resuscitated, might have the answers we're looking for, and their answers are quite peaceful.
