The parents of a Jewish student at North London Collegiate have expressed outrage after their daughter was told by a teacher she would be sent "to one of your gas chambers" for jumping the lunch queue.
According to a report in the Mail on Sunday, the 17-year-old's father - who wished to remain anonymous - said the incident happened in January, when his daughter cut in front of the lunch queue at school and entered the dining room.
The teacher, who had virtually no contact with the student beforehand, reportedly said: "Don't do that or I'll have to send you to the back of the queue or to one of your gas chambers."
According to her father, the school has not done enough to highlight the severity of the incident. Though the teacher made a private apology to the family, North London Collegiate refuses to name the teacher, state whether any disciplinary action has been taken against her, or make a public statement.
