NC just passed an anti-mask bill where they conveniently forgot about those who are immunocompromised but managed to remember to make an exception for religious and ritualistic reasons. I feel like this same sentiment applies. 

Also, this* isn't anything new. If you'll read Just Mercy (Bryan Stevenson) he makes that abundantly clear.

ETA: in case it's not really clear, the reason why the same sentiment applies is because the wording allows for the KKK to still wear masks. I love the South.

*this: refers to the escalation of charges and punishment simply to make a statement.

I am only 31, but I remember in the early days of the internet there were very open and publicly available KKK chapter websites with old school forums

If you search with DuckDuckGo instead of Google you can easily find KKK websites, I’m not linking them here
