Benjamin Reese, a seventh grade social studies teacher at Warner Robins Middle School, was arrested Dec. 8, a day after the incident. He is being charged with making a felony terroristic threat and misdemeanor cruelty to children in the third degree.
After Reese told the student he was Jewish and had family members who still lived in Israel, the student reportedly told him she found the flag offensive "due to Israelis killing Palestinians."
One faculty member said she heard the teacher tell the student, "You don't make an antisemitic comment like that to a Jew."
