        I have no idea what the given reason was for wanting the KKK
viewpoint included but... are we talking about now or pre WWII. Consider
how incredibly popular the Klan was in the 1920s. By the mid 1930s not

northern New York State. A lot of Americans agreed with the Nazi ideas on
eliminating "undesirables" --although we chose other methods, like
lynchings and forced sterilization. So it doesn't seem all that suprising
to me that the KKK would be included. I would like to think that it would
be an examination of how these beliefs effected US government policy, but...
