Citadel Punishes Students for Costumes Evoking the K.K.K.
Fourteen cadets at the Citadel in Charleston, S.C., were disciplined on Monday after several of them appeared last month in photographs wearing white pillowcases on their heads. The pillowcases evoked a likeness to the hoods worn by the Ku Klux Klan.
The president of the Citadel, Lt. Gen. John W. Rosa, announced in December that the military college was investigating “offensive and disturbing” images of cadets wearing white clothes and pointed hoods with eyeholes that were posted on Facebook. On Monday, the Citadel released a statement with the results of that investigation, quoting General Rosa as saying that while the cadets used poor judgment, they “did not intend to be offensive.”
But he said he was disappointed that some cadets recognized that the pillowcases could be construed as offensive, and yet did nothing to stop it. “It demonstrates that we must integrate an even higher level of diversity education into cadets’ daily activities,” General Rosa said, “and into the already extensive leadership and ethics curriculum.”
Of those punished, seven were freshmen and seven were juniors. One junior was dismissed, meaning the cadet must spend two semesters away from campus, and two juniors were suspended, which requires them to spend one semester away from campus. Eleven cadets were given punishments of hourlong marches; such punishments can number from 40 to 120 marches.
The episode began as part of an annual tradition at the Citadel in which freshman cadets sing carols to upperclass cadets. There were four nights of such singing in early December, a college spokesman, Brett Ashworth said. On three nights, the freshmen used whatever materials they could find to dress as reindeer, elves or other Christmas icons.
But on the fourth night, cadets used “what they had close at hand” to dress as “Ghosts of Christmas Past,” the statement said, and donned the pillowcases.
They had lyrics sheets for Christmas songs that had nothing offensive on them, the investigation showed, but “not all of the freshmen understood that the costumes could be construed by some as offensive in nature.”
Other cadets reported that they had seen the freshmen with the pillowcases on their heads. Two photographs were posted on social media by an upperclass cadet who was in the room.
The investigation started the next day, the statement said.
