Saugerties Central School District.
Sakinah Irizarry who has fifth- and seventh-grade students in the district,
told NBC News the assignment was harmful regardless of race because of the traumatic experience it used for a lesson.
‘Even if we were not talking about this case, specifically, it takes the death of a person, I’d say, from a very cold and distant point of view,’ she said.

There is new bombshell evidence presented by Officer Tou Thao’s defense in the death of George Floyd. It appears that Dr. Andrew Baker, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner, was coerced into claiming George Floyd suffered neck compressions.
Prior to meeting with the State, Dr. Baker conveyed to them that “[t]he autopsy revealed no physical evidence suggesting that Mr. Floyd died of asphyxiation. Mr. Floyd did not exhibit signs of petechiae, damage to his airways or thyroid, brain bleeding, bone injuries, or internal bruising”
On Friday, May 29, 2020, the Complaint stated that the full report of the ME was pending, but that the preliminary findings “revealed no physical findings that support a diagnosis of traumatic asphyxia or strangulation”. See Complaint in State v. Chauvin (27-CR-20-12646).
Tou Thao’s Attorney Alleges Medical Examiner Was ‘Coerced’ in George Floyd Autopsy: ‘Neck Compression Has to Be in the Diagnosis’ Aaron Keller

Tou Thao, the former Minneapolis police officer charged with playing a role in the death of
George Floyd, Jr., filed an explosive motion Wednesday which accuses the top official responsible for Floyd’s autopsy of being “coerced by the State and its agents” into changing his professional assessments of Floyd’s condition into medical opinions that were favorable to the prosecution at trial. Thao’s defense alleges that a fellow forensic pathologist threatened to publish a negative article against Hennepin County Chief Medical Examiner Dr.
Fox News contributors Leo Terrell and Andy McCarthy provide insight on ‘The Story.’
Lawyers representing former Minneapolispolice officer Tou Thao argued in a new court filing late Wednesday that the medical examiner who performed the autopsy on George Floyd was coerced by a prominent doctor in Washington, D.C., into altering its findings – and that prosecutors were aware.
The filing accuses that same doctor, who threatened to write a damaging op-ed in the Washington Post against the medical examiner, of later targeting the key medical witness called by the defense in the trial for Derek Chauvin, resulting in an investigation by the state of Maryland following his testimony. That has caused a chilling effect, Thao s defense attorneys argue, making it difficult for the defense to find other medical experts to testify for fear of losing their licenses or damaging their reputation.
