A substitute teacher at a Minnesota high school staged a graphic reenactment of George Floyd’s murder in front of students, said “police brutality is not real” and made racist remarks before being kicked out of the campus, school officials said.

On Monday, the teacher took a student to the ground at Woodbury High School in suburban Minneapolis to imitate the way Floyd was fatally restrained, according to a letter from Principal Sarah Sorenson-Wagner to the students’ families.

The principal also said the teacher pretended to point a gun at students, twisted a student’s arm behind his back and showed pressure points on his chin and face, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported .

The teacher wanted students to know what the life of a police officer was like, the letter said, noting that he is not a cop anywhere in the state.

The teacher, who was taking two different English classes for sophomores and seniors, also spoke in detail about the dead bodies he had seen and shared inappropriate details about two sexual assault cases that he claimed to have investigated, KTSP reported.

The principal’s letter said he told sexist jokes and “invaded students’ space,” once simulating a punch “really” close to a student’s face while recounting a bar fight in which he had participated.

The principal also said the teacher said “cops would be the best criminals” because “they know how to get away with stuff.”

He also claimed to have gotten an “A” on a paper on how to get away with murder.

The man, who has not been named, has been banned from all schools in the South Washington County district, which includes Woodbury High School.

The Woodbury Police Department is working to investigate the incident and a full account of events has also been filed with the Minnesota Department of Education.

The alleged re-enactment occurred more than four years after Floyd’s killing by former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin on May 25, 2020.

In July 2022, a judge sentenced Chauvin to 22 and a half years in prison after he was convicted the previous year.

Chauvin knelt on Floyd’s neck for over 9 minutes, contributing to his death.

The graphic video of the killing sparked nationwide protests that demanded major reform of policing.

Chauvin and three other Minneapolis officers were convicted for their roles in Floyd’s death.

“I specifically want to recognize the racial harm that occurred when the substitute teacher re-enacted the prone restraint that resulted in the murder of George Floyd,” Sorenson-Wagner wrote in her letter.

“This reported behavior is reprehensible,” she added. “I am embarrassed and I am sorry that this happened to our students. We will take as much time as students need to listen and create open space for courageous conversations that lead to healing, action, and education.

The superintendent said the school asked its recruiting agency, Teachers on Call, not to fill future vacancies in the district with the man they fired.

Woodbury Public Safety partnered with the school district to investigate the allegations against the teacher, according to Chief and Principal Jason Posel.

“We are troubled by the preliminary information about what happened,” Posel said. “The safety of students, faculty, staff and our community is our top priority. We will investigate this incident to the fullest extent possible, while showing compassion to the students involved.
