Adding to the circus-like spectacle, the County Sheriff's name is Scott Gay.

It makes sense to me that the KKK would be involved in this case.

Nut jobs like these give us Georgians a bad name. I promise, most of us are not really like that.

Oh, don't worry. I know that. This isn't about Georgians anyway. It's about the irony of the KKK coming to the rescue of a student who is using her Christianity to refuse to counsel gays.

I was trying to pre-empt this. This forum loves to go here. Anyway, back to the OP, of course the Klan is going to defend ignorance. That woman's religion rendered her incapable of doing the job she had studied for. She should simply seek a different job with an organization that would hire someone with her views.

Also, she should have avoided attending a public school. Bob Jones University probably would have been a better choice. Hell - they probably would have hired her as their lead student counselor.

The KKK is part of what's called the "Christian Identity Movement." Believe it or not, they consider themselves a Christian organization. That's what I meant about how some different factions of Christianity are the same religion in name only. The KKK is a radical extremist Christian terrorist organization.
