Morris Dees Discusses New Lawsuit Against Klan

By Margaret Bassett

Imperial Klans of America, different from the KKK in that being Christian isn't a requirement operates in 8 states. The lawsuit is in Kentucky where a teenager was attacked at a county fair in Brandenburg. More dangerous because they attract skinheads, Mr Dees says. Some splinter affiliates have backed off from the IKA after the suit was filed. First aim is to seek regress for the victim but also to make recruitment harder.

Authors Bio:
Margaret Bassett passed away August 21, 2011. She was a treasured member of the Opednews.com editorial team for four years.

Margaret Bassett--OEN editor--is an 89-year old, currently living in senior housing, with a lifelong interest in political philosophy. Bachelors from State University of Iowa (1944) and Masters from Roosevelt University (1975) help to unravel important requirements for modern communication. Early introduction to computer science (1966) trumps them. It's payback time. She's been "entitled" so long she hopes to find some good coming off the keyboard into the lives of those who come after her.
