From one side they think that they have to reform it; it is a duty on them, they have been brainwashed to think

outlandish titles, hooded costumes, and violent “night rides” in order to make the Klan more popular. The Klu Klux Klan will experience several cycles of growth and collapse, and sometimes these cycles will be more extreme than others(“Ku Klux Klan—Extremism in America-About the Ku Klux Klan”). Their primary targets were Black Americans. Additionally, they harassed, intimidated, and even killed immigrants, Jews, gays, Northern teachers, judges, and politicians(“Wormser”).

Some Victorian principals have taken the decision to axe religious instruction (RI) from their schools. Many believe this move is long-overdue and should be replicated nationwide.
