Governor McMasterâs mask comments spark another debate about masks in schools
Gov. McMaster weighs in on debate over masks in S.C. schools By Morgan Newell | April 30, 2021 at 5:45 PM EDT - Updated April 30 at 6:13 PM
FORT MILL, S.C. (WBTV) -There is renewed debate over masks and whether they are still needed in schools.
Governor Henry McMaster says it ridiculous that school districts should mandate them.
âItâs the parentsâ choice; itâs no longer the school districts choice,â said McMaster.
The State Department of Education actually requires school districts to have students and visitors use masks within the schools and on buses. They say it will stay that way until the stateâs health agency and Centers for Disease Control says otherwise. However, the Governorâs comments are still sparking debate.
