Face coverings are dehumanizing, when not used for temporary protection, such as surgery masks or hazmat.

What may seem dehumanizing to one culture can be a symbol of identity and respect in another. For instance, the Niqāb in Islamic culture is often a personal choice that symbolizes modesty and devotion. Isn't it our duty to respect the values of diversity and individual choice, particularly during civic ceremonies which aim to bring people together? Could we not strive to create an environment where everyone feels respected and included?
