A Jewish middle school teacher in Massachusetts has resigned after facing antisemitic harassment by a 12-year-old student – who allegedly made Nazi jokes and sent him a drawing of Adolf Hitler.
Morrison Robblee, 25, who taught social studies at Nessacus Regional Middle School in Dalton, told the Berkshire Eagle that the sixth-grader began making the comments after the teacher let his students know he is Jewish in February.
The child is now facing a misdemeanor charge of criminal harassment.
When Robblee tried to quiet his students one day, the boy began spewing homophobic slurs, so the teacher removed him from class, Insider reported.
School officials later held a “restorative circle,” in which the student, Robblee and an administrator reflected on the incident.
“The student didn’t actually say anything during the meeting,” Robblee told Insider. “That probably should have cued me that this was not going to end.”
In April, things took a turn for the worse after the teacher showed up in class wearing a yarmulke, a skullcap worn by observant Jews, for Passover – prompting the student to make hateful comments about it, according to the news outlet.
A few days after being sent to detention, Robblee said the boy gave him sketch of Hitler standing over a dead person labeled “Jew,” surrounded by swastikas and canisters labeled “gas.” [snip] Robblee said he filed a complaint with his union in May, citing an unsafe work environment, and told the Central Berkshire Regional School District in a letter that the boy would “further be at risk of a deeper radicalization of hate, one which will lead to violence,” the Eagle reported.
The district later placed Robblee on administrative leave, citing the student’s allegations that the teacher made a face at him in a hallway, according to The Eagle.

“the teacher let his students know he is Jewish”
why?
What a snowflake. This teacher didn’t have to guts to standup to a 12-year old.
THAT’S the handwriting of a twelve year old?
“The district later placed Robblee on administrative leave, citing the student’s allegations that the teacher made a face at him in a hallway”
That’s all it takes these days to put a teacher on leave?
No More Pencils, No More Books, No More Teacher’s Dirty Looks!
But just let the ‘boy’ say that there are only two genders, and he’ll be banished from school forever.
There is your problem "restorative circle".
Was thinking the same.
Wow, this is a trouble kid.
He needs some discipline. But the school had the nerve to punish the teacher later for an alleged “face” made?
I’m surprised this kid wasn’t run out on rails. Between massive amounts of maliscious anti-semitism and some apparent “homophobic” stuff, he should have hit all the Woke PC buttons to where he would be “doxxed” to all students and others as fair game.
Yet, it didn’t happen.
He has been endlessly harassed for months, has dealt with it, and can’t legally do anything to the kid.
What do you want him to do?
“ THAT’S the handwriting of a twelve year old?”
******I******************************************
And the incoherent writing is showing that he has promise as a future mainstream journalist.
Forget it Jake. It’s the public school system.
They don’t prioritize handwriting anymore in school. I was shocked that my niece and nephew, both nearly 30, write like toddlers.
Unbelievable. The nuns had us writing in perfect cursive by the time we were seven, or else...
AKA ‘Beer Summit’.
Yes, that's my thought as well. I couldn't figure out what he wrote. Could anyone?
I’m still trying to decipher it.
The kid is warped. He should be expelled. Made fun of the teacher man bun and wrote he hated him. He’s a 12 year old idiot. Why is this about the man bun teacher and hate crime stuff? Not every kid mouthing off has to be a hate crime just because the object of his disaffection is a minority.
It’s about as coherent as Mein Kampf.
He wrote he hated the teacher and he had a weird man bun making it part opinion and part fact
