"FRANKFORT, Ky. -- The Kentucky Senate, reacting to a divisive comment by Republican Rand Paul, has adopted a resolution declaring any form of discrimination to be inconsistent with American values.
Louisville Democratic Sen. Gerald Neal introduced the resolution Friday during a special session on the state budget. It was adopted without objection in the predominantly Republican chamber.
Neal, Kentucky's only black state senator, said he took personal offense at the comment made last week by Paul, a U.S. Senate candidate, who was criticizing the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
Paul said in an MSNBC interview that the federal government shouldn't have the power to force restaurants to serve minorities if business owners don't want to.
Neal said Paul's "extreme belief" has made Kentucky "a laughingstock." " (http://www.kentucky.com/2010/05/28/1284255/ky-senate-adopts-civil-rights.html)
Is it inconsistent with American values for a young lady in Kentucky to say no to someone she does not want to date?
Is it inconsistent with American values for Universities in Kentucky to favor minorities for student enrollment?
Is it inconsistent with American values to eat lunch whereever you choose in Kentucky?
Have they lost their minds in KY:confused:
