Post has just been updated. It doesn't explicitly exempt the KKK, but it does provide exemptions for organisations' parades, rituals, initiations, ceremonies, celebrations, or general requirements. It also explicitly permits hoods under this exemption.
after obtaining permission
On what legal basis would the KKK not be given permission?
I second this, but it's not obvious from the first glance
The KKK typically files the proper paperwork for their demonstrations and parades in advance. Under what circumstances do you envision them being denied permission to wear their hoods during a permitted demonstration without gifting a first amendment victory to the Klan?
I was under the wrong impression that it's actually banned in the US, but it is not, from wiki:
This is a huge stretch. This is a misleading post and you should delete it.
It still isn't a stretch. The KKK aren't routinely rejected for parade applications in regions they're active, they basically just need to add a line about wearing hoods to their application.
It's not their post.
Yeah I was drunk and read it as though it were OP.
