Parents of a seventh-grade Andover Middle School student have contacted the Wichita branch NAACP about a Ku Klux Klan board game a student created for a class project. The student took it to school as part of a research assignment about historical figures. Terica Davis, who is African-American and has a child attending the school, saw the game displayed at a recent open house and took photos of it. Davis objected to the game, saying it was offensive. Among the game captions: “You forget to clean your white robe so you can’t go to the lynching. You are punished. Move back two spaces.” A school spokeswoman said she’s looking into the matter.
