Two Riverton High School students in Wyoming were disciplined on Wednesday for wearing outfits that were “designed to represent KKK apparel" for the school's ‘Spirit Day,' reports CNN.

Terry Snyder, the superintendent of Fremont County School District No. 25, stated that the students made “a very poor decision,” and that while neither student discussed ideologies that align with those of the Ku Klux Klan, their actions have a clear implication that must be addressed.

With school shootings becoming increasingly common and racist threats made toward students in both secondary school and college, authorities and officials are taking acts that suggest or emulate racist or threatening behavior as serious conduct violations.

Riverton High School’s official Facebook page issued a statement saying “We do not condone or support the student’s actions. We have taken disciplinary actions and have handled it.”

The image of two boys rushing through the school doors in KKK paraphernalia soon went viral. Micah Lott, a Native American activist and Riverton resident who recently attended the COP25 summit on Climate Change in Madrid along with Greta Thunberg, took to Facebook to condemn the action, saying racism is a taught behavior.
