Oklahoma Teen Thought Her KKK Photo Was No Big Deal, Until Dad Delivered a Public Reckoning

A father of an Oklahoma high schooler who posted photos with friends dressed up as KKK members for Halloween has apologized for his daughter’s actions, saying “she has learned from this.” “She now clearly understands her error and is remorseful for this,” Chuck Brewer, the girl’s father, wrote in a Facebook post. “And at my direction, educated herself about the hate, violence, and racism associated with the KKK.” He added that she was previously “completely unaware” of the KKK’s brutal past. His daughter did not wear a KKK costume in the photos that went viral. One showed her with three teenagers in white hoods and robes, standing under a festive balloon arch. Another photo showed a group posing together at a party. Her TikTok caption read, “Didn’t know the KKK would be at this func?” The incident occurred in Wellston, about 40 miles from downtown Oklahoma City.
