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:


Facebook Dover High School and Career Technical Center, Dover NH

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



U.K BOXING FANS DONT THINK RACISM IS REAL IN AMERICAwww.youtube.com

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.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.

But the biggest joke of all might be the end-of-year bonus, or lack thereof. They're at times so laughable, they take the cake for horrible work conditions, or are quite literally, a slice of cake.
