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.
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
