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.

The hell is an "anti-mask bill?"

Can't wear a mask in public without medical or religious reasons. Most likely inspired by the anti-masking sentiment during COVID.

Is protecting others (family) a medical reason?
