Gov. Brian Kemp

ATLANTA - Gov. Brian Kemp announced Wednesday that he will propose legislation giving Georgia parents the final say on whether to send their children to school wearing masks.

Kemp accused some school districts of "ignoring the science" on masking, as many states - including Democratic strongholds New York, California and New Jersey - have dropped mask mandates in recent days.
