Progressive Democrat KKK in 1920s Oregon

[BobBalouski]

Democrats, KKK, and compulsory public school attendance...

...can't get any better than that for progressivism's sprouting age in America, eh?

The Klan's appeals to morality and patriotism initially masked the reality: the political intrigue and social conflict and the loyalty to the Klan that transcended political party affiliations. In 1922, Klansmen won election to local and county offices throughout Oregon, and some Klansmen won seats in the state legislature. The Klan helped elect LaGrande Democrat Walter M. Pierce as governor and played a significant role in passing an initiative measure requiring all children eight to sixteen years of age to attend public schools. While targeting Roman Catholics, the compulsory school bill would have eliminated other private and denominational schools. As the only state to pass such a law, Oregon gained notoriety and faced numerous legal challenges. The law was never implemented, and the U.S. Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional in 1925.

Socialists/progressives/Democrats and 2nd world canucks alike fear one thing more than anything else: their mirror.

Sounds like progressives will adapt and change to meet the trends of society, which makes a lot more sense than trying to impose outdated and discarded ideas.

Um, this was almost a hundred years ago. That's why we're called Progressives, because we PROGRESS with the times. If you Republicans had your way, everyone would still be segregated.

Looks like Babba boo wee failed basic 8th grade Civics.

You do know that the Democrats in the 20s would have been the Repigs of today?

Check out what happened after the Civil Rights Act of '64 and what LBJ said about the Southern Democrats.

Damn, you are dumber than a box of rocks.

In the 60s and 70s the republicans and other right wing extremist groups, revived the KKK and have embraced it ever since while Democrats despise it/ them.

Fuck boi will leave that tidbit out.
