As quoted by Davis, "It's never a black or white thing, it's about decency."
If this is an issue about decency, then why didn't the Davis family have the decency to notify the teacher or administrator before contacting the news media. I am a student at Andover High and personally, the complaints about this board game are absurd. The game's purpose was soley educational, not supportive of the KKK. Are we really supposed to stop educating students about ACTUAL hisory? Or should we just blanket everything that comes off as offensive to people? Oh wait, gets rid of the Holocaust, Segregation, Religion and almost every other topic. What's left to teach about history? Nothing.
