Derek Chauvin trial high school assignment sparks controversy

A high school class assignment that centered on Derek Chauvin is sparking backlash against the school and the teacher from some students and families who felt it was written with a bias toward the former Minneapolis police officer. 

Some of the questions asked students if Chauvin should have been charged with murder if he did not directly kill Floyd, citing that he had drugs in his system at the time of the deadly arrest, and how can they distinguish between a police officer who is "basically a jerk" and another who is racist. Another asked: "Chauvin did not follow protocol and had a knee on Floyd's neck for way longer than necessary. Floyd was resisting arrest, so why is Chauvin still considered breaking the law through negligence? Explain. If you don't know what negligence is then look up the word." Some of the student's parents felt the assignment was biased toward Chauvin.
