South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster has called for an investigation into pornographic material in public school libraries in the state.

“It has come to my attention that public schools in South Carolina may be providing students with access—whether in school libraries, electronic databases, or both—to completely inappropriate books and materials, including sexually explicit and obscene images or depictions,” McMaster said in a memorandum to the South Carolina Department of Education (SCDE) on Wednesday.
