Georgia Teacher Faces Charges for Allegedly Threatening Student Over Israeli Flag
A Georgia high school teacher has been charged with threatening a student over an Israeli flag. The incident occurred at the Rockdale Career Academy in Conyers, Georgia, where the teacher was caught on camera making the alleged threat. The video shows the teacher telling a student not to “screw” with him, or he will “get in big-a– trouble”. The teacher then goes on to say, “Don’t smile at me, man, OK? That’s how people like you get shot. I got a bet. I bet by the time you’re 21, somebody’s gonna put a bullet right through your head. And it might be me – the one that does it”. The teacher was suspended after the incident and is now facing criminal charges.
The incident has sparked outrage among parents and students alike, with many calling for the teacher’s immediate dismissal. The mother of the student that the teacher was allegedly speaking to posted the video to Facebook, saying that she was “outraged” that the incident occurred. “You see these stories on the news never believing it will happen to your child,” she wrote on Facebook. “Well it happened to mine and we will get justice”.
