Surrounded by Holocaust survivors and teenagers-turned-lobbyists, Gov. Steve Beshear this morning in Louisville signed into law a resolution expanding opportunities for Kentucky public schoolchildren to learn about the Holocaust and other acts of genocide.

Beshear signed the bill at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, where eighth-graders at the parish school have lobbied the past three years to get the resolution passed.

"The real menace of our Republic is the invisible government which like a giant octopus sprawls its slimy legs over our cities, states and nation. At the head is a small group of banking houses generally referred to as \'international bankers.\' This little coterie... run our government for their own selfish ends. It operates under cover of a self-created screen, seizes our executive officers, legislative bodies, schools, courts, newspapers and every agency created for the public protection."
John F. Hylan (1868-1936) - Former Mayor of New York City
