"Free him": John Long Middle School David Schroeder swastika scandal explained as teacher amasses support after arrest 

A Jewish teacher, David Schroeder, from John Long Middle School, was arrested after he allegedly threatened a group of students drawing a swastika in the class. Reportedly, the teacher warned the students and said, "All Jews have guns."

Soon after the incident took place, he was placed on leave. This came after the police responded to a parent's call, where they complained about the educator and claimed that Schroeder threatened the students by stating that he had 17 guns in his basement.

While the incident took place last week, he found another set of students drawing the swastika on May 12, 2023, which left him agitated and infuriated.

The parents who had complained against David Schroeder also claimed that the teacher often warned the students and taught them that it was not appropriate to draw such symbols. However, as per the New York Post, this time, he was left infuriated, as he said:

“I wish pain on all of you and your families.”

Many students went on and claimed that the teacher yelled at everyone, not just the students drawing the swastika. While parents of students at John Long Middle School are angry about the incident, social media users have been siding with David and want him to be freed.

Netizens took to the comments section of Daily Loud's tweet about the situation and expressed their views about the same.
