I have been receiving numerous reports in recent days from my readers and social media posts about some fliers found on the ground in areas of Hamilton County, including Fishers. I have hesitated to write about this, not wanting to give these people publicity, but the more I thought about it, I must at least report that this is happening locally.

I will not post the full text of the flier, suffice to say it encourages people to report “illegal immigrants” to federal officials and identifies itself as a part of the Ku Klux Klan.  Again, we have only had a few isolated reports of these fliers, from people seeing them on the ground.

We have a First Amendment in America so there are protections for free speech, even the the speech is abhorrent to most of us.

In my view, the best thing to do is ignore this flier.  There is no indication, at this time, that there is any major movement locally supporting the Klan.  But let’s just be aware of what is happening in our own local community.
