MN: School district bans officer from teaching after he reenacted George Floyd’s murder

“A Minnesota school district has banned a police officer from working as a substitute teacher after a series of ‘racially harmful’ actions that officials say included putting a student on the ground for a reenactment of the 2020 murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis officer. The staffing agency that placed him at Woodbury High School said Wednesday that he also no longer works for them. The man was serving as a substitute English teacher on Monday when he told students in four separate 10th and 12th grade classes that they might want to hear about his life as a police officer, school officials said in a letter to students, families and staff.” (10/16/24)
