Students in a New Hampshire high school were heard singing a KKK-themed Christmas carol in a viral video of what was supposed to be a school assignment.

The Portsmouth Herald reported that 11th grade students in an American History class wrote the song for an assignment in which they were tasked with creating a song from what they learned about the post-Civil War Reconstruction era.

Dover School District Superintendent William Harbron said the students recorded in the video chose the Ku Klux Klan — which first formed in response to the economic and political gains made by former slaves during Reconstruction — for their assignment.

“KKK, KKK, let’s kill all the blacks,” the students are heard singing to the tune of the “Jingle Bells” Christmas carol, eliciting laughter from classmates. Harbron told the Herald that the students were unaware they were being recorded.
