Fox News
A City Council meeting in South Carolina on Tuesday night that focused on a proposed emergency mask mandate and a report on the city's racial conciliation commission grew heated and resulted in the council failing to pass the mask ordinance and voting not to receive the report.
"I do not understand how you think they are going to learn to read with a mask on their teacher’s face or their face…they cannot see the enunciation of letters," one parent said. She also pointed out that it is challenging for children to have to wear masks for the entire school day. "I want to know, which one of you wears a mask for eight-plus hours a day," she said. She said there are no studies that focus on the long-term repercussions of children wearing masks.More Related News
