Does "NO MASKS" mean that choosing to wear a mask to protect your health is now forbidden at colleges or is there another meaning that I don't understand? It is so random and has nothing to do with the rest of the post except for being "woke".

Probably making wearing any mask while protesting illegal, regardless of the legality of the protest itself.

Unless it's the proud boys with their uniforms, obviously.

Yeah a lot of states passed "you must carry a doctor's note to wear a mask in public" laws during COVID.

I've written to my Republican state lawmaker only to receive a form reply.

They don't want people concealing their identity to avoid police following them after protests.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, only the police are allowed to conceal their identity

Wouldn't surprise me if they were STILL bitching about having been forced to wear masks 5 years ago lmaooo

Masks are for hiding your identity.

But perhaps the double context is intentional.

For loads of clinically vulnerable people, the right to protest is dependent on the right to mask. You can only risk going to a crowded protest if you’re allowed to use protective measures to prevent infections.

Not random, masks make it harder for the facial recognition cameras.
