Michigan Bar Strips Racist Author Kyle Bristow of Short-Story Award | Southern Poverty Law Center: A bar official suggested judges who gave Bristow the award were hoodwinked by a “potential ideological manifesto” and hate speech masquerading as art.

“We cannot apologize enough,” said State Bar President Thomas C. Rombach said, adding that the biennial short-story contest would be discontinued.

“The short story contest has been popular with many [attorney] members,” the bar association president said. “But if this result could occur even with the high caliber of the judges who conferred the award, the contest should be discontinued.”

The entries didn’t include the writer’s name, the Lansing State Journal reported today. The story was posted on the bar’s web site, but now has been removed. Printed journals, listing the contest winners, were mailed to bar members, but that publication didn’t include the honorable mention short story.
