A freshman at a high school in Wilmington, California had to dress up as a historical

figure for a history project.

The student decided on former Ku Klux Klan leader Hiram Wesley Evans, and showed up to

school in the white hooded costume.

The worst part?

The student's teacher approved of the choice.

Both the student and the teacher remain unidentified, as The Root reports.

However, the choice is especially shocking considering that the school, Harbor Teacher

Preparation Academy, is 96 percent minority.

Trinity Young, a student, told ABC7.

"It kind of rattled me.

It was hard to believe that [the teacher] would allow a Klansman to walk around from

her approval.

So, we asked her, and she ... compared the Klan to the Black Panther Party, which in

my opinion are two different things.

I'm honestly questioning why she would think it was OK.

I mean, sure, he was a historical figure, but is that really a historical figure you

want roaming around the school?"

The Los Angeles Unified School District has released a statement, which reads in part:

"L.A. Unified and Harbor Teacher Preparation Academy understand the extreme sensitivity

around this issue and do not condone or support this type of re-enactment."

In addition, a district spokeswoman with the Los Angeles Unified School District confirmed

that the incident is being investigated and described the costume as "insensitive and

highly inappropriate."

Monument Minute - California Primary - Duration: 1:48.

The California primary election was on Tuesday was cause for great attention

for several reasons there are 53 California congressional seats that are

currently held by 39 Democrats and 14 Republicans several of those Republican

districts are held by members who are vulnerable or retiring and Democrats see

those districts as key to taking back the house in November

Democrats need 23 seats to gain majority control in the house there are a few key

things know about California's primary California follow is a "top two" or

"jungle" primary system where the top two finishers advanced to the general

election regardless of party so Democrats were concerned that

Republicans might lock down the top two slots in certain races and they'd be shut out

the general election due to very crowded primers Democrats targeted and provided

significant funding for seven congressional seats currently caught by

Republicans that Hillary Clinton won in 2016

So what happened? of the seven seats

targeted by Democrats A dem will be in the race for the general election at

least three districts in November the 39th the 48th and the 49th and while

ballots are still being counted a Democrat will compete in nearly all 53

districts Democrats narrowly avoided a lockout due to multiple multiple

Democratic candidates in competitive congressional districts in Southern

California. Senator Feinstein who was also running the primary faced a

Democratic challenger on the left but her win by a wide margin makes it pretty

clear that she will prevail in the general election in November. It looks

like the decision by the Democrats to invest in California may pay off in

their quest to secure a majority of the house in November even by a narrow

majority
