Oregon County Will No Longer Exempt People of Color From Wearing Masks
|
[PJ] The Oregon county that issued an order that exempts people of color from having to wear a mask if they were "worried about racial profiling and harassment due to wearing face coverings in public" has changed its mind about the policy.
Lincoln County officials were inundated with phone calls and emails angry about the decision. Twitter blew up over the issue. Within 24 hours, the county had heard enough and rescinded the exemption.
The policy was incredibly stupid in the first place.
USA Today:
The directive, passed on June 16, went viral after a New York Post story with the headline: "Oregon county issues face mask order that exempts non-white people."
By Wednesday, as the story spread and a small office in Newport was bombarded with thousands of angry emails and phone calls, the county revised the directive and eliminated the exception, saying that it "does more harm than good."
