According to the Denver Post, Colorado state legislator Douglas Bruce (R-Colorado Springs) was banned from speaking at the podium today after he made an incredibly bigoted remark about migrant farm workers. Bruce was railing against a program that would assist seasonal farm workers in the state when he said:
“I don’t think we need 5,000 more illiterate peasants in the state of Colorado.”
