What happened recently at the Red Hen in Lexington, Virginia, brings back memories of the 1950s, when Democrats who ran eateries refused service to certain people in the South.

It’s a renewal of the old ways to move certain people into second-class status. I thought that Democrats had outgrown that.

It looks like I am wrong. Old ways don’t die?
