What Oklahoma Is Banning People From Wearing In Their State Is Pissing People Off As we can seen from the stories rising in the media, one of the most controversial clothing debates as of late is the wearing of a hood. Now, Oklahoma is attempting to ban the wearing of hoods entirely, making efforts to mandate a fine of $500 if caught wearing a hood in public. Oklahoma already has a law dating back to the 1920s that makes it illegal to wear a hood during any illegal activity. Now, the state wants to ban the clothing item altogether in public. The intent of Senate Bill 13 is to make businesses and public places safer by ensuring that people cannot conceal their identities for the purpose of crime or harassment, claims Senator Dan Barrington. Similar language has been in Oklahoma statutes for decades and numerous other states have similar laws in place. Oklahoma businesses want state leaders to be responsive to their safety concerns, and this is one way we can provide protection. Not surprisingly, the new bill has caused some heated debate. While some argue that the bill intends to make Oklahoma a safer place in general, others argue that the new law would just be instigating numerous lawsuits. What do you think of the new bill?
