(Jewish Group) Primary school teacher sacked after 'joking' sending Jewish pupils to 'gas chambers'

A primary school teacher has been sacked after allegedly “joking” to pupils about “sending them to the gas chamber” if they failed to finish their work.

The teacher at Newberries Primary School, Hertfordshire, allegedly made the antisemitic remark to a class of 28 pupils, including 11 who are Jewish.

According to the Mail Online, she said: “You better finish off your work quick, or I’ll ship you all off to the gas chambers.”

Afterwards, the teacher reportedly apologised, said she was joking and asked the students not to say anything.

From the article:

An emergency meeting was held by the board of governors on the same day the comments were made and the teacher, who was an agency worker, was dismissed immediately.


At least there wasn't a "six month investigation" to determine what they should do.

These stories are sickening and almost daily occurrences.
