Police have arrested a man who said he wanted to burn down his son’s private Jewish school in North Miami Beach, Fla., because of its indoor and outdoor mask policy.
Mark Polyakov, 37, who was taken into custody on Monday, made threatening comments on Feb. 8 while talking with other parents from Scheck Hillel Community School in a group chat called “No More Masks Hillel,” reported CBS Miami.
Police said he then posted a photo of the school’s athletic field and wrote: “I want to burn this school to the….ground. This is what they are doing outside, forcing ….. masks (in) 80 degrees. You can’t be nice. Gets you nowhere.”
An anonymous parent reported the comments last week to the school’s administration, which resulted in Polyakov’s son being expelled. Police said Polyakov wrote on the group chat on Feb. 10, “I just got kicked out of Hillel. I will burn this school down.”
The Scheck Hillel Community School released a statement in response to the incident, saying, “We have zero tolerance for aggressive or violent language or behavior and are grateful for the assistance of law enforcement and the overwhelming support of our families in our ongoing efforts to keep our children safe.”

Right…. and blm can loot and burn and kill… all depends which side you’re on…..not that I’m condoning violence…
Right, only politicians may be violent and may use death weapons via jabbing.
Very sad.
Obviously, no Jew would have burned down a school building.
I agree with him i would say the same threat
The administrators know that it was steaming on a chat, yet they chose to arrest him without cause. This is one of ge most flagrant violations of halacha and morality and no one should send their children to this school, masks or no masks.
