Georgia teacher arrested after allegedly saying he would cut student’s head off after she objected to his Israeli flag

A schoolteacher in the US state of Georgia was arrested after allegedly threatening to behead a student who expressed taking offense over his Israeli flag, according to authorities.

Benjamin Reese’s arrest at the middle school named after the town of Warner Robins occurred on after a student approached and told him she was offended by the Israeli flag hanging in his classroom, the local news station WMAZ reported, citing a police account of the case.

Reese, a seventh-grade social studies teacher, allegedly replied that he was a Jew and had relatives who lived in Israel. The student said “Israelis killing Palestinians” made the flag offensive, which prompted Reese to accuse her of being antisemitic.

    Then ppl can’t understand why I don’t wanna bring a new life to this world… to have a social studies teacher threaten to take my child’s life. Yes, fair world.

    This contradictions should have the whole education system be reconsidered. Or at least fire the guys who decide to hire and keep every year a psyco like that.
