A stretch of road in Missouri is about to become a little cleaner and whole lot more controversial. The state’s Department of Transportation has approved the ‘adopt a highway’ application filed by a 9/11 “truther” group.
The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has accepted paperwork completed by the St. Louis 9/11 Questions Meetup Group, a collective of locals who say they are “concerned about the many disturbing aspects” of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
On their website, the organization sells t-shirts that read “The 9/11 debacle was an INSIDE job” and another with former-President George W. Bush above a quote from Hermann Göring, Adolf Hitler's Reich-Marshall.
Beginning soon, a portion of state road will be fitted with signs advertising the group in exchange for their cooperation in picking up little.
"We are in the US and everyone has the right to their viewpoint," Tom Blair, assistant district engineer for MoDOT in St. Louis, tells ABC News.
This isn’t the first time his department has been tasked with making a decision that demanded a tough call. An application filed by the Ku Klux Klan yielded a legal battle that went almost all the way to the Supreme Court before the KKK was given the go-ahead. Ever since, anyone that is interested in sponsoring a section of roadway is allowed to do so.
