   "The reported actions are not, and will not, be tolerated at Woodbury High   
   School or in South Washington County Schools," Wagner said.   
      
   A substitute teacher has been banned from Woodbury High School after   
   displaying "racially harmful" behavior in multiple classes, including   
   reenacting how George Floyd was killed with a student.   
      
   The teacher was banned from campus on Monday after making multiple racially   
   charged comments and gestures in four separate English classes, one of which   
   was putting a student on the ground and reenacting how police "restrained"   
   George Floyd when he was    
   murdered in May of 2020.   
      
   "I specifically want to acknowledge racial harm that occurred when the   
   substitute teacher reenacted the prone restraint that resulted in the murder   
   of George Floyd," Woodbury High School's Principal, Sarah Sorenson-Wagner,   
   said in an email to parents,    
   which was first reported by Woodbury News Net.   
      
   "This reported behavior is reprehensible. I am embarrassed, and I am sorry   
   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."

   After an initial email on Monday to parents assuring them the man was barred   
   from campus as soon as his behavior was discovered, a follow-up email on   
   Tuesday detailed what the substitute teacher said in his classes.   
      
   According to the email sent to students who reported the incident, the man   
   thought they would want to hear about his life as a police officer, even   
   though he is not a police officer in the state of Minnesota.   
      
   Other behaviors exhibited unprovoked during the classes are as follows:   
      
   Stating that "police brutality isn’t real."   
   Speaking at length about his gun collection.   
   Stated that “cops would be the best criminals” and that “they know how   
   to get away with stuff,” saying that he once got an "A" on a paper about how   
   to get away with murder.   
   Sharing the specific names of the people he arrested.   
   Speaking in disturbing detail about dead bodies he had seen and sharing   
   explicit details about two sexual assault cases he investigated.   
   Telling sexist jokes.   
   Repeatedly telling racially harmful comments.   
   "Invading students’ space" and mimicking holding up a gun and pointing it at   
   students.   
   Speaking about a bar fight and fake punching a student with his fist “really   
   close” to the student’s face.   
   Twisting a student’s arm behind the student’s back and showed pressure   
   points on the chin.   
   While the man's name has not been shared, Principal Wagner said in her email   
   that the school sent a full report to the Minnesota Department of Education   
   and PELSB (educator licensing department) and is collaborating with the   
   Woodbury Police Department to    
   investigate this incident.   
      
   The Woodbury Police department confirmed they will be investigating the   
   incident further and are "disturbed" by what occurred. According to Woodbury   
   police, the teacher has no affiliation with the department.   
      
   "The reported actions are not, and will not, be tolerated at Woodbury High   
   School or in South Washington County Schools," Wagner said. "We are partnering   
   with Teachers on Call, our substitute contracted vendor, to ensure that this   
   person is removed from    
   the Teachers on Call substitute list and will never be allowed to fill any   
   vacancies in our school district."   
      
   Bring Me The News has attempted to contact the Teachers On Call, Principal   
   Wagner, and the Superintendent of the South Washington County district but has   
   not received a response at this time.
