(Jewish Group) DeKalb Teacher Accused of Abuse, Anti-Semitism

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

The DeKalb teacher accused in January 2018 of abuse and anti-Semitism remains employed by the district, according to the DeKalb County School District.

The January accusations were made at Peachtree Charter Middle School, when a young student reported that the teacher had stuck out his foot to trip her causing her lunch to fly everywhere, then didn’t offer to help and instead laughed at her. This incident came after the student had already told her mother of other events, including the teacher saying to her daughter that he “would have known you were a Jew just by looking at you.” The same day as the tripping incident, a different student reported that the same teacher had pushed a small boy out of his seat, held him down, and yelled in his face with a megaphone.

The mother of the student who was tripped sent an email to the principal and vice principal once she learned about the incident. Although she was told the teacher would be removed from the classroom, he was not suspended or put on leave during the inquiry. The teacher was switched to a different classroom eventually, but he was not placed on leave until WSB-TV caught wind of the story and began investigating on Jan. 24, 2018.
