What Wolf says above is partly why I backpedaled a bit on my stance. Although I despise bigots and racists, they aren't technically illegal. I Do believe that a police officer or other person of public power will eventually trip over the discrimination laws if they hold racist beliefs.
A big part of the issue here is that the KKK cannot be classified as a 'subversive' group which is defined as a group whose intent is to violently overthrow the goverment. In fact, the KKK proports to be strongly 'pro' constitution/government/god and their actions are intended to eliminate the less-than-aryan elements in their country because that is what is best for it (in their distorted view). So it would be impossible to fire someone based on their membership because belonging to the KKK isn't illegal (since the KKK isn't illegal). But watch them closely. They WILL slip up and treat someone with discrimination, THEN you can fire them.
