Southern Bell: Klani
By DAVID R. RANKIN *
Chronicle Staff Writer
Q: The local chapter of the Ku Klux Klan has a
telephone number which people can call and hear a
pre-recorded "message of the day." I understand
that this phone number is known at local high
schools, and many students call this number to hear ^
the message. Is there anything that can be done to ^
stop this information? Is it legal? Is there a chance ?
for rebuttal? ^
IT,
A: As far as I can determine, the Klan has the
right to play its recorded message because it violates
no laws. Under the First Amendment of the Constitution,
which covers freedom of speech and
freedom of the press, the Klan has the right to voice
w
its opinion on issues using its telephone answering
machine. ^ ^
The way the telephone message is structured, you
must dial the number and listen to the message. Since
it is structured like that, they are able to do it,
according to King Triplett, manager of customer
services at the local office of Southern Bell.
4'Nobody is obligated to call this telephone
number," he says. ca
Triplett explained that as long as customers do
not violate Southern Bell's rules and regulations,
the utility must provide them with service. sei
If the Klan were to call you up and then play the V<
pre-recorded message, that would be harassment, C<
according to the telephone company. .W
As far as rebuttal is concerned, you could tape
your own message on a tape machine and have peo- ^
pie call the number to hear your opinion.
