Georgia teacher arrested after allegedly threatening to behead Muslim student over Israeli flag conflict

A middle school teacher in Georgia was arrested after witnesses told authorities he had threatened to cut off the head of a student who objected to an Israeli flag in his classroom.

According to an incident report, the female student told a sheriff's investigator she went into Reese's classroom on Dec. 7 after spotting the flag and told him she found it offensive because Israelis were killing Palestinians. According to the student, Reese said he was Jewish, got angry and accused her of being antisemitic.

Witnesses, including staff, claimed they heard Reese use expletives and reportedly scream, "You motherf---ing piece of s---t! I’ll kick your a--! I should cut your motherf---ing head off!"
