CBRM Administration has to fully investigate the incident,over and above the Police investigation.If any of the folks wearing the KKK costumes were associated with CBRM{employee,volunteer,contract,etc.} then that relationship has to be terminated.If any CBRM employee allowed them into OUR building then they should be fired.CBRM is a diverse community and there should be zero tolerance for this kind of nonsense,never mind this "teachable moment" crazy.
