In an email exchange last year with the parent, Latson wrote:

Appeasement never works in the long term.
Facts of history should never become beliefs.
Ooops. I should have used etc. My English teachers are spinning.
It sounds like a mixture of postmodern subjectivism and catering to the “feelings” of a favored minority group (Muslim extremists). There is the belief that there is no truth, or at at least the truth is unknowable, and combine that with catering to a favorite minority that denies the Holocaust. I think this will drive the left to aggressively deny the Holocaust someday soon, so that Holocaust denial will become a core part of political correctness. This will be a small jump from the thinly veiled antisemitism that already is common with the left.
Bingo.
No, you are wrong. Principal is the highest position in a school. If they had given him a promotion they would him probably made him Superintendent who is over all schools in a county. They could and should have fired him, but they didn’t because he is black.
Yeah but he’s black, get it?
I do believe that denying that the Holocaust occurred, does indeed make you a Holocaust denier.
Did he think that as a public school official he needed to remain "politically neutral" - sensitive to both those who believe the earth is round and those who believe the earth is flat?
exactly.
Wonder he teaches the moon landing.
Florida IS the nation’s rubber room.
Public schools are out of control. New York administrators are getting paid $300,000 by taxpayers. I hope Trump’s main initiative in 2021 is to clean up this mess.
Sounds to me like he was a politicallly correct bureaucrat who was following orders to not offend the Jew-hating holocaust deniers in the school (..cough..muslims..cough).
Let’s see if he ends up in some capacity on the board of education. I understand what you’re saying.
Blacks are the only group in the US allowed to have their own separate version of "truth".
Under-representation in STEM is a consequence.
Don’t bother drpix, my son went to Spanish River until his last year and transferred to Boca High for his senior year (6 years ago) and this clown was the reason why. The details stay with me. As far as I’m concerned, his true character got revealed.
Holly, as one who had contact with him 6 years ago because of my son, don’t bother defending him. His true character just got revealed.
His best case is that he went along with a system that required him to say something he believed was factually and morally wrong. If he’s not a Holocaust denier, he’s a classic example of how you get Nazi death camps in the middle of a supposedly civilized country.
Get a clue, Latson. You are no different than low level Nazi scum. That defense didn’t work at Nuremberg.
But your personal experience with the guy seems to confirm the suspicion of his true character that my question was directed at. Thanks.
