EXCLUSIVE: Worcester Public School Allows KKK Costume

GoLocalWorcester has learned that on Thursday at Worcester Technical High School, a female student showed up to school wearing a Ku Klux Klan costume. The day, themed “Heroes and Villains” day at Tech, drew an abundance of inappropriate costumes, but nothing compared to the unfortunate and tasteless Klan outfit.

It is undetermined how long the student had the costume on, and it is unknown what disciplinary measures the student will receive.

Niki Winfield, whose daughter attends Worcester Tech, said "The student was able to walk the halls. They finally made the student take it off but the damage is done. Someone was able to take pictures. My daughter was devastated. They gave the kid who wore the Jesus costume a problem. Had the student dressed like Hitler, they would've been arrested for being anti-semetic."

"When I spoke with the principal, they acknolwedged it and said they couldn't tell me what's being done," said Winfield.

The principal, Sheila Harrity, is in the midst of her last day at Worcester Tech today. Beginning on Monday, she will be serving as Superintendent of Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical.

EDITOR'S NOTE: The faces of the two other students have been blocked out.
