Sydney, Australia: Teacher quits after primary school students threaten to behead her


From Yahoo Australia:
Frightened teachers at a Sydney primary school have revealed students are showing signs of extreme radicalisation at a young age, saying they have been traumatised by threats of beheading and other violent behaviour. 
Students as young as in Year 5 are making the threats and pressuring peers into reading the Koran at Punchbowl Public School in Sydney's southwest, the Daily Telegraph has reported. 
Documents given to the newspaper reportedly reveal that at least three staff members have taken stress leave, received counselling and been paid compensation after bullying from Islamic students. 
One woman reportedly claimed it all got too much for her and she eventually had to quit her job. 
She said the final straw was when she received death threats to her family from her year 5 and 6 students, with some saying they would behead her. 
Prior to that she claimed she made a number of complaints in 2014 about some of the behaviour in her classroom. 
She said she was abused by students when she stopped them from hanging a Syrian flag in the classroom.
