White supremacists in Ky. will pick up your trash along a local highway

ALEXANDRIA, Ky. - A white supremacist group has sponsored a stretch of a Kentucky highway to clean up trash.

The Kentucky chapter of the National Socialist Movement, a white supremacist group based in Detroit, has signed up with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Adopt-A-Highway program.

The group will pick up garbage along a two-mile stretch of the AA Highway outside of Alexandria.

An official at the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says a sponsoring group's political views are not relevant as long as they pick up the trash.

In exchange for cleaning up the roadway, the group will be permitted to post a sign with the name of their organization on both the northbound and southbound lanes.

The group's logo is a shield with the stars and strips beneath a swastika, similar to that used by the Nazis during Hitler's reign.

While they agree with the teachings of Hitler, members of the group "draw the line at racial extermination," Kentucky chapter  member Geoffrey Rash said.

The Adopt-A-Highway sponsorship lasts for two years.
