Parent arrested after saying he would burn down his sons Jewish day school over mask policyA parent of a child at an Orthodox Jewish day school in North Miami Beach was arrested after saying he wanted to burn this school to the f***ing ground in a group chat for parents opposed to the schools mask policy, according to CBS Miami.
Mark Polyakovs son was a student at Scheck Hillel Community School, which requires students to wear masks indoors and outdoors.
Polyakov reportedly wrote several messages in a parent group chat of about 70 parents called No more masks hillel on Feb. 8 in which he said he wanted to burn the school down.

Throughout the pandemic, many Orthodox Jews from the Northeast have moved to South Florida, thanks in part to the states more lax approach to COVID-19 restrictions.

(24,332 posts)threatening people w/ bodily harm or to burn down structures because of one's personal belief goes beyond the pale.
It's really a big disappointment to me, in that I respected orthodoxy a little more than the usual radical side of various religions, in that I thought they were perhaps more educated than the general population, so thus, their opinions, their statements carried a little more weight. That is, more prepared to take on life's challenges. I know that one person's extreme viewpoints shouldn't tip the pot too much , but such views I think aren't made in a vacuum.
Burn down everything? Reminds of what some other thuggish groups are known to think.
I guess this person's viewpoint makes it abundantly clear now that not everyone has a full and abundant share of brains when the good folks upstairs passed them all out. NO, people such as this are not as smart, as graceful, as educated, as open-minded, etc. to allow others in this great country of ours to have their different opinions, and instead, threatened to burn down something, such as a school, etc. Why don't you go out and shoot the school's elders, or the other parents, etc. while you're at it?
