Harassment by 12-year-old including jokes about gas chambers forces Jewish teacher to resign: report

A Massachusetts middle school teacher is resigning and moving out of town after he says a 12-year-old student barraged him with antisemitic harassment, The Berkshire Eagle reported.

Social studies teacher Morrison Robblee says the student at Nessacus Regional Middle School started harassing him after he made it known to students that he was Jewish. Now the unidentified 6th-grader is facing a misdemeanor charge of criminal harassment.

Robblee said the harassment started in February with jokes about the Holocaust, gas chambers and other things related to Nazi Germany -- all during class.

When Robblee came to class wearing a kippah – a cap that some observant Jews wear – the student made hateful comments, prompting Robblee to write him up for detention. A few days after the incident, the student handed him a drawing that showed Adolf Hitler standing over a dead Jewish person, with heading along the top: “Sorry, Jew" – and called the drawing an apology letter.

It's just anti-Semitism.

1. more steps should have been taken

by the school if the harassment continued (emails are easy to save, and present as evidence) - and one wonders why that wasn't the case. Still - this teacher allowed a single 12 year old (not a group or a pack) to best him - and ultimately surrendered his authority, standing and job to the child terrorist.

Admittedly all I know about this is what is presented at the link, but ... Disappointed.

2. Bullies in classroom. Those bullies are the sons and daughters of other antisemites. Just totally...

... unacceptable.

3. I hope Robblee sues the school district for a hostile workplace environment.

The little punk should have been given detention and a writing assignment about The Holocaust from Day One.
