TAYLORSTOWN — Several Ku Klux Klan items listed in a classified ad have been pulled from a Pennsylvania auction.

Items such as a hood, book and robe adornment were posted on an auction website and scheduled to be sold at the Taylorstown Fire Hall in Washington County today.

Resident Derrick Edwards said he saw a photograph of a newspaper clipping with the classified ad. Edwards told a Pittsburgh television station “you shouldn’t make a profit off racism.”

Auctioneer Randy Shook said the KKK items have been pulled.

He said the overall auction will continue.
