South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster expressed concern last week over what he called an “aggressive use of school resource officers” to enforce mask mandates in the Charleston County School District (CCSD).

After a filmed incident in which a school resource officer warned a parent that he will call the Department of Social Services (DSS) if the parent left his child at school, McMaster formally requested that CCSD not use state funds to enforce its mask policies.
