It did in my State of Vermont during the time my parents were younger. and they saw directly the effect of the hate of the Ku Klux Klan. The church where my parents were married and where they were burledone of them Just a year from this coming Mondaythe church where I was baptized head the cross of the Ku Klux Klan burned on its front steps. So I know the sense that they have. the sense that my mother of an immigrant family recounted to me of how she felt about that. the fear that was driven in to people who spoke a different language. as my mother and her family did. who practiced a religion very much In the minority in Vermont at that time. None of us In this body. Republican or Democrat. wants to encourage In any way racism or the kind of things that the Ku Klux Klan and many other organizations similar throughout this country stand for.
