LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- University of Louisville professor Ede Warner has a unique plan to keep the Ku Klux Klan off his campus: He wants the school to ban the group, then argue in court that it's a terrorist organization.
"Nobody has ever done that,'' Warner said.
Klan members started posting fliers on campus early in the spring semester to protest diversity programs sponsored by the school. That stirred debate among faculty and administrators that has taken place on campuses around the country: how far the university can go to keep some groups off campus and how to best deal with unpopular ideas in the academic setting.

Listen, the KKK may be a bunch of fashioin-victim inbreds with higher thread counts than IQs, but everybody needs to stop screaming "terrorist" every time they see something they don't agree with. While the KKK, in their heyday, used violence to achieve their goals, today they can barely get it together to host a bake sale. This country is not made great by squashing "unpopular ideas".
