A photo of a student wearing a Ku Klux Klan hood and carrying a Confederate flag has led to an investigation at East Coweta High School in Sharpsburg, Ga. The student in the photo and others involved have been identified, though not named.

"From the school’s investigation, it was determined that no specific threat was made in the incident. The school system is continuing to investigate the matter, and is implementing disciplinary consequences," school Principal Steve Allen wrote in a letter sent to parents. "The Coweta County School System does not allow behavior that infringes on the safety of its students, staff or volunteers, and does not tolerate behavior intended to bully, harass or intimidate others on our campuses. If you have any questions regarding this incident, please do not hesitate to call me."

Former East Coweta High student Lorenzo Lewis, who said he was left "speechless," by the photo, tweeted it expressing his displeasure. Read more HERE.
