Teacher is sacked for 'joking' to Jewish primary school pupils that she would

簡單大意：

英國有位小學老師在課堂上對十歲學生們(28位中有11位是猶太人)說：「你們最好
早點完成作業，不然我會把你們全部送到毒氣室。」

然後孩子們回家跟父母講之後就爆炸了，無數電話打到學校，老師在一週內被解雇。


A teacher has been sacked for ‘joking’ with Jewish pupils that she would ‘
ship them off to the gas chambers’ if they did not finish their homework.

Newberries Primary School dismissed the woman on Friday following an outcry
from children and parents.

The teacher is said to have made the anti-Semitic remark on Thursday while
teaching a class of 28 ten-year-olds, 11 of whom are Jewish. According to
parents, she said: ‘You better finish off your work quick, or I’ll ship you
all off to the gas chambers.’

It is understood that when challenged by one of the pupils, the teacher said
she was ‘joking’ and apologised, before asking the children not to tell
anyone.

However, pupils informed their parents and the news soon spread on school
WhatsApp groups.

Many parents telephoned and emailed the head teacher to complain, with some
even threatening to withdraw their children unless the staff member was
dismissed.

On Thursday evening, the board of governors held an emergency meeting to
discuss the issue, and dismissed the teacher the next day.

The action was instant because the woman was an agency worker, and therefore
had no permanent employment contract with Newberries, it is understood.

The school, which has 203 pupils aged four to 11, is in Radlett,
Hertfordshire, a commuter village where around a quarter of the 8,000
residents identify as Jewish.

One parent, who did not want to be named, said: ‘To the credit of the school
they made it clear they wanted to deal with the situation without delay.

‘They did not seek to dispute the suggestion that the teacher had made the
reference to “gas chambers”. The fact that the woman was sacked the
following day says everything you need to know.’

Yesterday, a spokesman for the school said: ‘We can confirm that last week
we were made aware that an alleged racist comment had been made by an agency
teacher working within the school.

‘We acted on this immediately and our governors and leadership team are
undertaking a full investigation. The agency teacher will not be returning.’

After the dismissal, the school issued a newsletter reassuring parents that
despite ‘recent events’, it was doing all it could to ‘embrace and
celebrate diversity’.

It said it would be inviting religious leaders from different faith groups in
to speak to the children, as it had done in previous years.

‘This year we are asking particularly for the focus to be on strengthening
the important messages of religious tolerance and respect,’ it said.

Newberries is rated ‘good’ by Ofsted, which described pupil attainment as ‘
outstanding’.

At its last full inspection in 2011, the pupils were described as mostly ‘
white British’, with below-average levels of deprivation.

The incident comes after Jewish community leaders condemned a third
successive year with a record number of anti-Semitic incidents.

In 2018 there were 1,652 cases logged by the Community Security Trust, a 16
per cent increase on 2017. It said the spread of incidents throughout the
year – more than 100 a month – indicated a general atmosphere of
intolerance and prejudice.

The Daily Mail was not able to contact the sacked teacher.
