A U.S history and government exam for the High Schools of  New York has been cancelled due to the shooting at a buffalo supermarket because of racist reasons. The test can cause compound student trauma and thus has been postponed. The test was supposed to take place on the 1st of June but considering the current situation it won't take place on the decided date. Ten people were killed in the incident when a white 18 year old started open firing. Three are reported to be injured.Emily DeSantis, a spokesperson for the state Education Department, said in a statement " the tragedy in Buffalo has created an unexpected and unintended context for the planned assessment."
