An Idaho woman attended a bizarre meeting at a local council meeting, saying she should wear a “scary burqa” so she could avoid wearing face masks while attending college on campus.
A woman who identified herself as Katie Dugger expressed frustration over her mask mandate and shared why masks were a burden in her life during a City Council meeting in Lewiston, Idaho, on Monday.
Dugger, wearing a colorful outfit, with a headscarf over his head, complained that he took a semester out of school because he didn’t want to wear a mask.
“I took my last semester leave at LCSC (Lewis-Clark State College) because of all this nonsense because I can’t wear a mask,” she said.
“It doesn’t matter why, but it’s very traumatic for me to wear a mask because of something that happened to me when I was a child.”
Dugger explained why she was chosen to wear her eccentric outfit instead of wearing a mask.
“I wore this because the only way I could go to school today was because I had to behave like I had a weird burka and walk like that so I could go to school and cover my cover. as if I were a Muslim, at least he can breathe through it, ”she said.
“This is thin enough that I can breathe through it. The way for me to go to school and get an education is that I have to dress like a strange Muslim “, the woman added.
Dugger also downplayed the vaccine during the debate.
“If they want to get a vaccine, let them get a vaccine, get Bell’s palsy and fall in two weeks,” she said.
Idaho has reported more than 161,000 COVID-19 cases and 1,714 deaths since Wednesday, according to the Idaho Department of Health and Safety.
