ATLANTA Public schools won’t be able to require masks in classrooms following executive order expected from Governor Brian Kemp. The time for mandates is over, Kemp told an interviewer on Fox News.
Kemp has navigated challenging economic and medical conditions as the pandemic evolved over the last year.
Masks were very visible at an end-of-the-school-year celebration at Druid Hills Middle School. But the requirements and health protocols have added a measure of stress. I think exhausting is an understatement, said Anastasia Pierce, the mother of a 14-year- old Druid Hills Middle schooler.

TOWSON, Md. - Maryland s governor on Saturday posthumously pardoned 34 victims of racial lynching in the state dating between 1854 and 1933, saying they were denied legal due process against the allegations they faced.
It was a first-of-its-kind pardon by a governor of a U.S. state.
Gov. Larry Hogan signed the order at an event honouring Howard Cooper, a 15-year-old who was dragged from a jailhouse and hanged from a tree by a mob of white men in 1885 before his attorneys could file an appeal of a rape conviction that an all-white jury reached within minutes.
