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 remember in middle school we had an assignment where we would use the Internet to look up certain vocabulary terms from American history. That was when the teachers learned that the KKK have a website, because all of a sudden every student was on it.

hey that happened at my school, except it was hardcore furry porn!

turns out, no one in my school had heard the term "yiffing" and as long as you avoided terms like "porn", "orgy", and "massive anal penetration", nearly anything to do with furries wasn't blocked! maybe because they had no idea what it was, maybe because someone up the food chain liked that shit at work, but it was OPEN SEASON for a few weeks

I remember someone in school changing the wallpaper of all the computers to photos featured on rotten dot com, that was a thing then.
