Oklahoma will consider a law banning the wearing of sweatshirts

In the US state of Oklahoma, an amendment was introduced to the state constitution that introduced a fine of 500 dollars for wearing hoodie hoodies in public places. Reports about it Fusion.

According to the Internet portal, hoodies will equate members of the ultra-right organization Ku Klux Klan to the hoods. In Oklahoma, they were forbidden to wear in the 1920-s.

The document, in particular, states that “wearing hoods and masks in order to purposefully conceal one’s identity in a public place in Oklahoma will be recognized as illegal.”

One of the authors of the amendment, State Senator Don Barrington (Don Barrington), said that the measure may help victims of the attacks to know his abuser.

Many are confident that the introduction of the new law will not ensure the safety of people, but will only further exacerbate racial tensions in the United States, writes Lenta.ru.
