Georgia denies KKK’s request to ‘Adopt-A-Highway’ | The Raw Story: The Georgia Department of Transportation announced Tuesday that it would not allow the Ku Klux Klan to participate in the state’s Adopt-A-Highway program.
“The impact of erecting a sign naming an organization which has a long rooted history of civil disturbance would cause a significant public concern,” the department wrote in a denial letter to the Klan group.
“Impacts include safety of the travelling public, potential social unrest, driver distraction, or interference with the flow of traffic. These potential impacts are such that were the application granted, the goal of the program, to allow civic minded organizations to participate in public service for the State of Georgia, would not be met.”
