I would think you would learn about it in history class soon enough- it's been around since at least the end of the Civil War- I'm pretty sure that's when it was founded and some strains of it continue on today... it's even mentioned as the villian in a Sherlock Holmes story- The Five Orange Pips

I was homescholedl. So it wasn't in my history class. ;) The Great Game, the last episode of the new Sherlock TV series had five beeps in it. Is that like the five orange pips in the book?

I'm not sure that it's meant as a reference to that or not. I'd have to see the show.
And whether homeschooled or not, any American history class should teach something about the KKK in conjunction with a study on the Civil War and the Reconstruction period.

Oh yeah . . .It wasn't a very long read, Maybe a paragraph at the most. But I do remember something about it, now. :)

Okay- I figured you probably would've have had some mention of it somewhere- sure, it's not a nice or enjoyable thing to talk about, but it is part of history. And those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it. (like in summer school. ;))

Depends on what classes you have to take (I'm talking the college equivalent here- taking summer courses to speed your graduation or literally make the grade for scholarships- though either way, I'd still rather not be in school during summer.) So yeah- summer school is no fun, but Summer School is pretty fun (when edited). ;D 8)

Luckily, I don't think I'll have to. :)

That's great! You ever notice that when you say that you're homeschooled people look at you like you're weird? I had that all the time! ;D
