Former The Dukes Of Hazzard star Ben Jones has slammed a politically correct decision to pull the plug on a Cincinnati Pops Orchestra classical tribute to the show. A July 14 Ohio concert has been axed after Pops bosses learned officials at the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) were unhappy about the show and the TV program's supposed links to racism and slavery.

Former Democratic Congressman Ben Jones, who played "Cooter" on the hit television show "The Dukes of Hazzard," has released a statement regarding an incident involving the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra. Jones calls the situation "a dangerous affront to the rights of performing artists and their audiences, and the worst example of political correctness I've ever heard of."
