For years, students at a Hayward high school were given antisemitic conspiracy material by a teacher known for making the Heil Hitler salute, according to students in his classes.
According to Vazquez, Bens told students to alternate reading portions of the material out loud, and guided them to highlight specific sections.
. But Ruchita Verma, a senior at Mt. Eden who tutors 10th graders at the school, said she’s heard multiple stories of students believing Bens’ instruction. “We take these allegations very seriously, and the teacher alleged to have made such statements and used inappropriate materials is currently on a leave of absence,” said the district.
According to Vazquez, Bens made that salute multiple times in the classroom, and — referring to Israeli war crimes during a lecture on Palestine — asked students to consider what they would do if Bens broke into a house, killed all the men, and raped all the women.
