A photograph of the student in KKK garb quickly spread Monday with many saying they were appalled by the outfit.
A student wore a Ku Klux Klan uniform to his school as part of a history project for which he received a teacher's permission. Photos posted on social media showed the freshman student dressed head to toe in KKK regalia walking around Harbor Teacher Preparation Academy in Los Angeles on Friday
The school district has apologized, calling the costume, according to ABC News, as "insensitive and highly inappropriate."
