COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) Teacher advocacy group SC for Ed says it dropped plans for Monday protests in Columbia amid threats of violence.
The group had scheduled an “Enough is Enough” protest to take place at the Statehouse, South Carolina Department of Education and governor s mansion, saying it wanted to protest the mistreatment of teachers by Gov Henry McMaster, the state superintendent of education and others.
The teacher group said its concerns ran deeper than McMaster s executive order, which attempted to let parents choose if their children would wear masks in schools or not. But some teachers said the Republican governor s action inflamed the situation.
