Yikes! A Cedar Hill High School teacher in Dallas, Texas thought it would be smart to instruct 14-15 year-old students to watch George Floyd die in addition to watching the Derek Chauvin trial as part of a classroom assignment.
The teacher assigned the students duties as mock jurors and told them to judge the evidence so they could render their verdict following the murder trial of former Minneapolis police Officer Derek Chauvin.
Chauvin is facing second degree murder, third-degree murder, and Sedona-degree manslaughter charges after he knelt on the neck of George Floyd until he died.
Newsmax reports:
A freshman teacher, who has not been named, did not seek parental consent for the assignment and reportedly told students not to discuss what they had witnessed during the trial for at least six weeks, Newsweek reported.
Parents were not happy about the assignment because prior parental consent was not given.
Parents of affected children wrote a letter to the teacher who created the unapproved class assignment. WFAA reported Friday.
"It is unfathomable to me that you felt it appropriate to force my child to watch George Floyd's murder on television in your classroom and then move on with his day as if nothing had happened," the letter from parents read.
Parents complained that the assignment was not appropriate for students due to the traumatizing nature of the video showing Chauvin pinning Floyd to the ground.
“This murder seen by millions around the globe was triggering and traumatizing for adults,” the letter continued. “Yet, you left students to handle their own emotions and mental health as they left your class, without proper and professional support,” WFAA reported.
Cedar Hill High School principal Jason Miller responded to the parent letter by stating that “viewing and discussing” the case was not age-appropriate for students, according to WFAA.
The school district sided with principal Miller on the issue by stating, “The matter has been addressed with the teacher, and the assignment was removed,” WFAA reported.
Would you be okay with this assignment?

I read those books when I was in middle school, and I truly do not remember anything in them that could even be close to racist. Then again, everything today is racist. Just the character wearing white underwear is probably “racist” to the left.
