South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson said in a press release on Tuesday that Columbia’s school mask mandate violates state law and “should be rescinded.”

In a letter (pdf) addressed to Columbia Mayor Stephen Benjamin and Columbia City Council, Wilson said, if the mandate isn’t rescinded, “the city will be subject to appropriate legal actions to enjoin their enforcement.”
