A high school assignment has sparked controversy among a group of Pennsylvania students and parents who say the classwork included biased questions about the Derek Chauvin trial and George Floyd.

In the criminal justice class at Bishop McDevitt High School in Wyncote, Pennsylvania, students were instructed to answer 10 questions about the trial, in which Chauvin was found guilty for the murder of Floyd on May 25, 2020, ABC News reported. 

The students and parents have claimed the assignment was crafted in favor of Chauvin.

Tim, a parent of a student at the Catholic high school who didn’t give his last name for fear of retribution, according to WPVI, said the questions were leveled with the teacher’s own opinion.

“You can’t discuss something that’s so fresh. And then you don’t have facts in there, you just want people to answer your opinion,” he said. 

One question asked the students whether Chauvin should have been charged with murder “if he did not directly kill him,” since medical experts allege there were “drugs in his system that then affected his heart.” Students were also asked to explain their reasoning for their answers.

Is this a #biased assignment? Parents of a student at Bishop McDevitt HS say it is. A teacher told students to answer these questions after the #DerekChauvin verdict. Student was too uncomfortable to do the assignment. Archdiocese of Philadelphia has apologized #GeorgeFloyd

“Floyd was resisting arrest, so why is Chauvin still considered breaking the law through negligence?” another question asked.

A number of parents initially expressed their outrage to the school’s administration according to a statement released from The Archdiocese of Philadelphia provided to ABC News. 

“School administration immediately communicated with those families after reviewing the assignment in question to apologize and discuss a plan of action moving forward to address the concerns. Those families with whom school administration was in contact expressed that they were pleased with the planned resolution,” the statement read.

When one student emailed the teacher to express their discomfort with the assignment, the teacher responded with an apology and informed the student that they would receive a zero for the assignment, according to the New York Post. 

“I understand if you do not wish to complete the assignment and would rather take the 0,” the email allegedly read.   

The assignment included preconceived biases that suggested the jury’s decision to convict Chauvin was ill-considered, despite mounts of probable evidence provided from the prosecution to claim otherwise.

This isn’t the first time an incident like this at a school has taken place surrounding Floyd and the trial for his death. In early April, a high school in Texas faced backlash from parents after freshmen students were asked to watch the video of Floyd’s death as part of an assignment. 

The students at Bishop McDevitt High School were eventually given another assignment, the New York Post reported.
