Unhinged Teacher Allegedly Threatened To Decapitate Muslim Student Over Israeli Flag Criticism

A Georgia teacher has been charged with terroristic threats and cruelty to children after he was accused of threatening a student who said she was offended by the Israeli flag in his classroom, according to a police incident report obtained by ABC News.

The Houston County Sheriff's Office report states that Benjamin Reese, 51, who is listed as a seventh-grade social studies teacher on the Warner Robins Middle School website, was reported by another teacher for yelling at three students in a hallway on Dec. 7, according to the incident report.

He was allegedly heard yelling "you motherf---ing piece of s---! I'll kick your a--! I should cut your motherf---ing head off!" toward students, according to statements included in the incident report. This was reportedly overheard by several teachers, staff members and students, according to the officer who responded to the incident.

The student who was said to be the target of Reese's alleged outburst told police that she approached Reese about the Israeli flag in his classroom after she noticed it while walking by.

She "pointed at the Israeli flag and told Reese that she has a question about it," the incident report read.

The student who was said to be the target of Reese's alleged outburst told police that she approached Reese about the Israeli flag in his classroom after she noticed it while walking by.

She "pointed at the Israeli flag and told Reese that she has a question about it," the incident report read.

The student's account written in the report said she told Reese she found the flag offensive due to "Israelis killing Pakistanians." It is unclear if the student or the responding officer who wrote the report meant to state "Palestinians" in the report in light of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war that has heightened tensions around the globe.

The student told the officer that Reese began to yell and approach her, and she stated that he "was trying to keep her from leaving and demanded to know who she was and who was her first period teacher." She said she obliged before walking away from him with two other students.

The students said they heard him continuing to yell as they walked off, but did not make out what he was saying.

A separate account in the incident report stated neighboring classrooms began to hear the altercation when Reese allegedly yelled "you don't make an antisemitic comment like that to a Jew" to the student, to which the student allegedly "responded negatively but was not yelling."
