A Georgia teacher allegedly threatened to behead a middle-school student for commenting on his Israeli flag.
Benjamin Reese, a seventh-grade social studies teacher at Warner Robins Middle School, allegedly became angry Dec. 7 when the girl asked about the flag as students were leaving after class and said she found it offensive.
He followed her into the hallway and told the student he was Jewish and had family members who live in Israel, reported WMAZ-TV.
"You don't make an antisemitic comment like that to a Jew," Reese said, according to another faculty member.
The girl responded negatively but did not raise her voice, the faculty member said, and Reese allegedly threatened to drag the student outside and brutally murder her.
"You mother-----ng piece of s--t, I'll kick your a--," Reese said, according to multiple witnesses. "I should cut your mother-----ng head off."
Witnesses said Reese returned to his classroom cursing and yelling that she should not speak that way to a Jew, and he allegedly continued making violent threats.

"I will drag her a-- into the parking lot, slit her f----ng throat and kill her," Reese said, according to witnesses.
A deputy who was at the school interviewed multiple witnesses, including teachers and students, but Reese at first denied speaking to anyone when questioned by the principal.
Reese then said a student was offended by the Israeli flag, which he believed was antisemitic, but he denied saying anything racist and claimed to have spoken to another teacher about the issue.
The deputy led Reese back to his classroom, but he kicked a doorstopper in an aggressive manner.
Reese invoked his civil rights and refused to answer the deputy's questions, but he was arrested based on witness allegations and charged with making a terroristic threat and cruelty to children.
