Georgia has rejected an application from the Ku Klux Klan to adopt a one-mile stretch of highway in North Georgia, setting up a likely legal battle over whether the white supremacist group can receive state recognition to clean up litter.

It's an automatic loss, unless they have better grounds for refusal then stated so far.reply - Selketskiss 2012/06/17 11:32:53DisagreeIt is their county, their stretch of road where they live and drive everyday let them clean it up. If this was the Black Panthers the gov would cower and give them no problems even though this is them today...
reply - ttfndude 2012/06/14 04:25:02Agreeyou would have too many traffic accidents by people TRYING to hit them....it would be too much of a disruption....although they could work on cleaning out their closetsreply

- frank 2012/06/13 18:23:31AgreeGiving the KKK the adopt a highway is as offensive to blacks as giving it to Al Qaeda would be to the American public.reply
- Frank 2012/06/13 17:35:15AgreeI'm not a KKK fan, nor any other organization that pertains to race or color because all people are created equal. But, if they are going to exist let them pick up trash if they want........reply
- Old Timer 2012/06/13 16:38:06Disagree+1They might just be wanting to clean up things they have left in the tall grass along side the highway, eh?reply
- rand 2012/06/13 14:40:24AgreeI think Georgia would waste taxpayer dollars by allowing highway adoptions by highly controversial groups.reply
- Bronar 2012/06/13 14:39:07AgreeAgree as long as it is an across the board policy, clearly written, that the state follows with all potential candidates.reply
- William Weber 2012/06/13 14:20:29Agree+1It's their right to apply for the application. It's also Georgia's right to deny it.reply
- lucky 2012/06/13 13:46:35Disagree+2Ugh, this is one of those things where by all rights they should be able to but to allow it is just wrong, its morally and ethically wrong so although legally they should be allowed to, morally and ethically screams no way in hades should they be allowed to.reply

- Torchmanner ~PWCM~JLA 2012/06/13 13:03:30Disagree+2I really don't like having the KKK on road signs, but they are no more racist than the NAACP or Black Panthers and all are from the Democrat Party. http://hamptonroads.com/2012/...reply
- The Judge 2012/06/13 09:47:31Agree+2The Problem would be all the signs would have to be white. The Roads would have to be white, so no dividers. No black lines or letters. it would just get messy to many accidents.reply
- Resp The Judge 2012/06/16 16:22:08Yeah but I think they would still use those black garbage bags. So much for diversity.reply
- will 2012/06/13 09:35:59Disagree+1Let them pick up trash probably 1 good thing they did that dayreply
- Cornball 2012/06/13 06:30:16Disagree+1Their adopting a highway, it's not that big a deal.reply
- Resp 2012/06/13 05:57:18Disagree+2Georgia is going to lose money on lawyers to lose the case in court. The KKK cannot be denied. If no other group is denied then the KKK must also be allowed. The only other solution is for Geogia to do away with the "Adopt A Road" program all together.reply
- JohnnyRudick 2012/06/13 05:47:44Disagree+1Anyone should be allowed to clean up the hwy.reply
- Herb 2012/06/13 05:43:00Disagree+1Let them adopt it if they agree to label the one mile sttetch THE HIGHWAY TO HELL (NO HANDBASKETS ALLOWED). Yes, indeed...truth in advertising for the klam.reply
- Justagirl 2012/06/13 04:58:08Disagree+1I disagree purely on the 1st Amendment argument. I predict, should they win the lawsuit, that it will be the dirtiest one-mile stretch of highway in all of Georgia...until the sign comes down...reply
- Andrew 2012/06/13 04:41:51Disagree+3I don't know, as long as it's just cleaning up trash.reply
- Aqua Surf 2012/06/13 04:37:58Disagree+5Childish. Why would anyone care if they chose to CLEAN UP a dirty highway? It's not political, it's showing civic pride. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth, Georgia.reply
- sjalan 2012/06/13 04:26:09Disagree+3As much as I hate to say it, If they are a regestered not for profit group under state law they can't really impose this restriction based upon the 1st Amendment, no matter how bad their message.reply
- JohnT 2012/06/13 04:04:22AgreeThey are a scourge that needs to go away.reply

- ★earthbound_misfit★ 2012/06/13 03:20:49Agree+1I don't think they should be given any recognition.reply
- Resp ★earthb... 2012/06/13 15:10:46It's not for them. It's for the highway.reply
- ★earthb... Resp 2012/06/13 15:16:55 (edited)I'm sure there are other organizations that would like to clean up the highway too. And it IS for them. They're trying to make themselves look better.reply
- Resp ★earthb... 2012/06/15 03:09:59Nemo, you don't know that they are "trying to make themselves look better." They could be actually concerned about the highway or have other motives.reply
- ★earthb... Resp 2012/06/15 03:24:09No, I don't know, but I sure have a hard time believing an organization like that has any pure motives. And regardless of what their motives are, it would still be giving them public attention. Do you have inside information by any chance?reply
- Resp ★earthb... 2012/06/15 03:27:10No inside info. But I am for free speech no matter who doesn't like it.reply
