From Atlanta Black Star - 7 Lies Taught In American Schools
Praise for the KKK
In the third edition of the textbook United States History for Christian Schools, published by Bob Jones University Press in 2001, it says “The Klan in some areas of the country tried to be a means of reform, fighting the decline in morality and using the symbol of the cross. Klan targets were bootleggers, wife-beaters, and immoral movies. In some communities it achieved a certain respectability as it worked with politicians.” Considering the reign of terror the KKK inflicted on Black people in the South for nearly a century after Reconstruction, including thousands of acts of racial terrorism in the form of lynchings, this statement is so incredible it qualifies as ludicrous.
