A Warner Robins teacher is accused of threatening to behead a student after she made a comment about his Israeli flag, according to the Houston County Sheriff's Office. Benjamin Reese is a 7th-grade social studies teacher at Warner Robins Middle School. He was arrested on Dec. 8. Several witnesses said they overheard Reese shouting “You motherf*****g piece of s**t! I'll kick your a**. I should cut your motherf*****g head off,“ around students on Friday. According to the incident report, at around 3:30 p.m. on Dec. 7, a deputy was on duty when he was informed Reese threatened a child's life. It happened in the 7th-grade technical hallway when students were on their way back to the 8th-grade hallway. The report says a student wanted to talk to Reese about the Israeli flag in his classroom and told him she found it offensive. Reese asked her if it had anything to do with Judaism. She wanted to know why it was hanging there, and Reese told the student he was Jewish and had family members who still lived in Israel. The student says she found the flag offensive “due to Israelis killing Palestinians.“ Reese then told the student she was being antisemitic.
