Georgia Governor Briank Kemp says he believes Georgia parents, not school systems should decide if kids should have to wear masks at school.

“Parents know how best to care for their children, and that includes when it comes to masking,” Kemp said during a news conference at the state Capitol.

Kemp continued, “As we enter the third year of facing COVID-19, it is past time for a return to normal and for decisions regarding protection against the virus to be made by individual Georgians and their families – not the government.”

About 45 school districts in Georgia have one or more schools with mask mandates on students, while mandates have been imposed by 10 or more schools in at least nine school districts.
