CHEROKEE COUNTY, Ga. - A group picture of a third-grade class at Liberty Elementary School in the Cherokee County School District is getting criticism from some parents.
The picture shows the class standing in a group without masks on. "I was blown away. I was very upset," said Alexandra Smith, a parent.
Smith said she asked her son several times the story behind the picture. "I went to my son and said 'what is this? Why isn't your mask on?' He said 'she wanted to see our smiles.' So I said, 'did you take it off or did she tell you?' And he said 'she did.'"
