A state exam for New York high school students on U S history and government has been canceled in the wake of the racist shooting at a Buffalo supermarket over concerns that material on the test could “compound student trauma.”
New York abruptly canceled the Regents exam in U.S. History and Government, saying content in the test could compound student trauma after Buffalo shootings.
There will be no U.S. History Regents exam this June. The State Board of Regents said Tuesday a long-planned question on the exam could add to trauma in Buffalo caused by the recent supermarket shooting.
