A middle school in Seattle called the police after posters were found encouraging students to subscribe to PewDiePie, prompting a history teacher's unhinged rant about the Swedish YouTuber promoting "genocide" that went viral.

As we reported on Tuesday, a video posted to Twitter featured audio of an unnamed teacher bizarrely claiming that children could be sued for sharing PewDiePie's videos, asserting that the mild-mannered video gamer's content was racist and anti-Semitic.

"And by every time you retweet one of these things, or every time you promote this idea, you are promoting ignorance, racism, genocide, anti-Semitism…..these are all things that you are putting forward when you are doing anything that promotes PewDiePie," said the teacher.
