That's right Bay. Moreovoer, some states still have a 'Ku Klux Klan Act' on the books. Those are laws adopted in the early 20th Century that prohibit the wearing of masks by subject organizations whose members specifically wear them in public as a means of intimidation and unjustified concealment. That law in Georgia was challenged and upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1980s I believe. No, I am not equating a burqa with a Klansman's mask. But the Klan's constitutional right of free expression had to defer to a legitimate concern of the state.
