What if you draw the KKK in school?

Depends if you get caught or not... Individual school policies will vary, and these would be approved by the School Board or the Superintendent or both. In my school, if you draw anything deemed inappropriate on your own stuff (backpack, notebook, hands, etc.) you may be asked to remove the item or graffiti (wash it off, in the case of body parts!), given detention or suspension, and/or referred for counselling. If it's written on school property (books, desks, walls, etc.) the penalties are worse because then it's considered vandalizing school property. (You also risk having the stuffing beat out of you, but that's from other students and not official school policy!)
