A high school principal in Florida who was fired after he told a student’s mother “not everyone believes the Holocaust happened” may be rehired, according to a report.

Schools Superintendent Donald Fennoy recommended to the Palm Beach County school board that William Latson, former principal of Spanish River High School in Boca Raton, receive a new school district position and $152,000 in back pay.

This is absolutely outrageous. How can a Florida school board, with the large Jewish population in Florida, adopt a fence-sitting policy leaving them a back door to Holocaust denial? I'm sure it wouldn't take long to produce a few actual Holocaust survivors, arm tattoo and all, on their condo terraces. And they certainly have a weak-minded spineless bureaucrat like this principal, instantly excusing his disgusting statements about the Holocaust by the ol' "They made me do it!" line. I'll bet he would not have simply sent down the line any comments excusing the police regarding the death of the black thug George Floyd or any of the others supposedly the flashpoints of BLM riots, criminals all. This is a dangerous man, disseminating lies as directed. He has been an "educator" for 26 years; I think he's had a long enough career at selective indoctrination.

He should be rehired as kitchen staff where they have the ovens.

It’s a union gig and an arbitrator will always rule in favor of the employee. That’s how.

“Not everyone believes the Holocaust happened”

Interesting standard. Not everyone believes that the Earth is round. Do they refrain from teaching that? I recently read that mathematics is Eurocentric dogma. I’m guessing that they’ll have to abandon that, too.

It's true that not everybody believes it. Of course those who don't are clearly severely delusional...but the teacher's statement is,in fact,entirely accurate.

Now if he didn’t believe in global warming then he would be fired for good.

A lot of cities, Dallas, being one, are building Holocaust museums.

I suspect in a few years, they will become shrines to BLM, instead of a museum commemorating The Holocaust.

The Palm Beach County school board has a vast headquarters stuffed with well-paid staff. The board itself though is composed of weak personalities and it rarely imposes and enforces standards. The net effect is that public education is a vast, formless blob, lethal to academic excellence but purposely inoffensive to everything else, including Holocaust denial.

“I can’t say the Holocaust is a factual, historical event because I am not in a position to do so as a school district employee,” Latson wrote in an email, later published by the Palm Beach Post.

“Not everyone believes the Holocaust happened and you have your thoughts but we are a public school and not all of our parents have the same beliefs so they will react differently, my thoughts or beliefs have nothing to do with this because I am a public servant,” the principal said. “I have the role to be politically neutral but support all groups in the school.”

I never knew that the extermination of 13 million people in dozens of still standing death camps that anyone can tour and see for themselves, was a ‘belief’?

Ok, then I say “I can’t say slavery is a factual, historical event.”

I'm sure this racist grinned when he denied the Holocaust. Decent parents need to keep their kids far away from this terrible person.

Exactly. If you don’t believe the Holocaust, then why believe in Slavery?

If you believe in Nothing...than you accept everything.

> It’s a union gig ... <

I don’t think that’s true in this case. Principals - and other administrators - are usually not members of any union. This guy might be a member of some principals’ association. But such associations are rather toothless.

It’s more likely that this is just a case of individual school administrators looking out for each other.
