offer a reasonable amount of protection from the elements if it gets windy. This seems like an unreasonable request.

For what that's worth.

A hood keeps the head warm. A hood can also reduce the risk of getting wet during rain or snowstorms. A hood offers some protect to the back of the neck and scalp (especially for bald heads) when it's sunny.

So how the hell would one determine if wearing it was related to weather?

feels offended.

Therein lies the slippery slope

I guess we should be glad they didn't specifically create an exemption for the KKK. It looks like the law applies to them.

Which is just a multi-racial group of people wearing hoodies in public holding "minstrel troupe" signs.

I'm going to give them the benefit of a doubt and assume that they are referring to this type of minstrel troupe.



Hoods were not a common article of clothing for the black face minstrel show, they commonly wore top hats and waistcoats.

You probably have a very good point, now that you mention it.

To clarify: I have seen troupes like the one in your photo, I just never read about troupes using the negative use of "minstrel".

I guess I shouldn't be surprised.
