Randall Brooker, Superintendent, Piedmont Unified School District, said that the email that appeared to show the school offering the support session was a 'poor choice of words.'

, a Black man, in Minneapolis on May 25 last year after kneeling on his neck for more than nine minutes. In video footage, Floyd can be heard repeating,"I can't breathe," as Chauvin keeps his weight on him.

The former police officer was convicted of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.Derek Chauvin Once Kept Knee on Teen's Back for 17 Minutes, Prosecutors SayBrooker said in a statement regarding the leaked email:"We are living in an extraordinary time that holds the promise of breaking down barriers and creating, finally, a world that is safe and just for people of all races and backgrounds.

"We saw an example of that this week in our community when students reacted to an email from district staff that invited them to participate in restorative circles by affinity groups to process reactions to the Derek Chauvin verdict. The District's intent was to give our BIPOC students a safe space to talk with others from similar racial backgrounds and to provide White students with an opportunity to talk about how to be an ally.

"A poor choice of words in the subject line of the invitation to White students led to the perception that White students needed the same kind of"support" as our BIPOC [Black, Indigenous, and people of color] students. Students of all racial backgrounds rightfully pushed back on that idea. We agree, and we want to affirm in the strongest terms that our commitment is to give all students a place to express their feelings and to learn how to engage in important issues.

Lol!

It’s not that Newsweek aired this story but that America continues to show whose emotional health is of importance. Has there been any school support group offered to POC to unpack the trauma from racist acts: both direct & indirect that we encounter?

Blue lives matter. Criminals are heroes/George Floyd/?

This headline is misleading. The story is really about people who don’t know how to title an email.

Racist school is racist.

Another Newsweak bullshit! Trust them to put such stupid issues in the forefront! These MFs should realize the Asshole cop killed a man and over a billion people have seen it! These Racists better do a REALITY check!

This guy is probably gonna be the president of the group

I think that the best solution for the 'White Makes Right' crowd is for these pathetic hatemongers to leave the U.S. altogether and live in countries where the demographics are more in their favor instead of attempting to rehash Jim Crow laws.

Not political at all
