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.
Totally natural response in this situation. You are offended, so I should cut your head off. That’s normal everyday behavior right there folks, who doesn’t threatened to cut their friends heads off from time to time, or their relatives? Its just water cooler talk…Nothing to see here, move along. /s
Pfft I couldn’t even guess how many seventh graders I’ve threatened with a knife to thier throat. It’s like a game for them at this point.
Well, cutting a child’s head off is only justified if you are a social studies teacher. You definitely know the way to be socially reasonable.
The problem is he was studying American society and saw nothing wrong with it
What is the good society?
