Republican lawmakers in North Carolina want enhanced penalties for people wearing a mask while committing a crime or blocking traffic during protests.
People wearing masks during protests could face extra penalties if arrested, under proposed legislation in North Carolina. Critics say the legislation could make it illegal to wear a mask in public as a way to protect against COVID-19 or for other health reasons.
As a way to curb Ku Klux Klan membership in North Carolina, the state legislature passed a slew of restrictions targeting “prohibited secret societies,” including most public masking, according to a 2012 book by David Cunningham, a sociology professor at Washington University in St. Louis.
