Atlanta– The International Keystone Knights of the Ku Klux Klan have submitted a formal application to participate in the state’s 
Adopt-a-Highway program in North Georgia.
The application, submitted in late May, requests that the Blairsville-based group be permitted to adopt a mile of the Zell Miller Mountain Parkway, which is Georgia Highway 515 in Union County.
According to the Associated Press, state officials may be forced to choose between allowing the request or denying it, forcing a likely legal battle against the organization. A third option for the state may spell the end of the 23-year-old program, which permits signs to be posted for groups who volunteer to help clean up and beautify state highways.
The Georgia Department of Transportation is reviewing the request. Officials plan to meet with lawyers from the offices of state Attorney General Sam Olens Monday to discuss the request and how they should proceed.
How do you feel about the request? Use the form below to express your opinion. 11Alive News will deliver the comments to state officials so they will know how you feel about the request and the program.

Hey why not? They legally have that right, just like I have the right to dump any and all trash that might be in my car/bus/tractor trailor and watch those clown clean it up

IF the KKK is ALLOWED to adopt a HIGHWAY I hope that people drive on it and turn it into a TRASH DUMP. THEY WILL HAVE TO “PICK” IT UP….SINCE IT’S THEIR HIGHWAY !!!!!!!

Yeah: ‘adopt a highway’ so they can turn it into ‘grab and lynch’ while perpetrating volunteer civic duties. Who really cannot see through the madness. I pity the fool who can’t.

It Is sad that after all the things American have gone through, TOGETHER…there are still people who want to feel superior….No one race died in the Twin Towers, the Federal building in Oklahoma, The Pentagon, the Tsunami and Katrina just to name a few of the many tragic incidents over the years. There is not one race overseas fighting for ALL of us here in America…for an organization built on idiotic hate to have a foot let alone a street/Highway would be asinine. People like that don’t need a voice to spread ignorance, stay hidden under your dirty white sheets because the WORLD is bigger than the KKK…I think Georgia would be frowned upon by the rest of the world if they approved such antics as this…this is just a ploy for the KKK to be recognized when the rest of the world is going on while they stay stuck back in time…they are a non-factor and this huge melting pot called America, where there is NO SUPERIOR race…everyone who is not mixed by any percentage is a minority, they need to get OVER IT and if they still claim Christian, read the Bible again, the God the rest of the world knows, indicates hate, pride and prejudice are all from Satan.

The KKK are a terrorist organization. Their history is one of hate, violence, intimidation, fear, murder, racism, and oppression. If a home grown branch of Al Quada were considering adopting a highway there would be no debate as to whether or not it would be allowed. The same zero tolerance that is imposed upon international terrorist organizations must also be imposed on national terrorists.
