Ku Klux Klan

Paper Summary:

It explores the aims of the Klan today, that of education, introducing prayer back into the school system, preferential hiring practices and jobs for Americans. The paper concludes with the author's personal views on the Klan.

From the Paper:

" Everyone is for improving the environment, so how can you argue with the Klan position on that? Everyone is for better education and not having to bus their children miles and miles away from home. Everyone is for prevention of crime, for getting rid of drugs and drug dealers, for reducing the taxes that now go to the Welfare system. The Klan has struck at the beliefs of the majority of Americans. If nothing else, Duke reassures those who were unwilling to be seen or heard as Klan supporters that it is Okay to share their beliefs."
