WTF?! KKK-Style Costumes Get Cadets Kicked Out of Military School

You can't wear Ku Klux Klan-style costumes and get away with it.

Seven cadets at The Citadel, a public military college in South Carolina, learned that the hard way. They've been suspended and kicked off campus after pictures surfaced online of them with pointy pillowcases over their heads.... with the eyes cut out -- just like the KKK wears.

The pictures were taken as the cadets were singing Christmas carols as part of a “Ghosts of Christmas Past” skit.

Uh.. what the hell were they thinking?!
