Banning face coverings

[Rev. Rye]

Virtually no non-Muslims decide it would be a good idea to cover their faces up,

Pussy Riot would beg to differ.





Also, there was a brief stage when I used to go out with a full face covering, but that was mostly because A) I was forced to use my bike because I didn't yet have my drivers' license and I needed to go to class, and B) Chicago's winters are fucking brutal. I managed to miss exactly three classes (out of about 32) that semester: one because the school declared a snow day, another because I injured my coccyx and, if it's painful to switch between standing and sitting, it's not practical to go to class, and the third because I was in Vegas (with the teacher). At the time, I learned about the laws against face covering in France. Fortunately, it looks like the climate in Paris or even Copenhagen doesn't really necessitate such dramatic necessities.

In addition, on occasion, I go out wearing a surgical mask, but that's only when I'm under the weather and have to go somewhere. Earlier in the year, I had ulcers on my tonsils, and the same day I went to the doctor's office, I needed to turn in my midterm for my Income Tax Accounting class. I ended up wearing the mask and the teacher congratulated me for at least being considerate.
