“he’s now out of that job, having been REASSIGNED due to the uproar this has caused.”

Oh, that probably hurts. Most likely has an easier job while collecting full Principal salary. Not good enough. Ge needs to be fired.

This story (from another media source) was posted on FR before and there's something missing.

How does it explain the below tweet from the same principal on the Holocaust a few months ago?

Another unprincipled school official talking out of both sides of their mouth trying to cowtow to all PC special interest groups?

Not sure why the author goes after the two equal sides angle. You can take down this idiot without referencing Charlottesville.

Umm, no. He is out of a position, but he still retains his job as he was just reassigned to anther position.

In other words, he’s getting a promotion.

It doesn’t sound like he denied it. It sounds like there was an issue with his curriculum on the subject as well as his explanation for his choice. Think someone went a little overboard with the response - especially after seeing the picture of the holocaust survivors at the school (in a previous post).

I don’t agree with him. But, wasn’t there a way to handle this without going full steam ahead and have him removed?

I’d also like to read the full email to which he responded to so there’s more context.

Show me a school that adopted a ‘not everyone believes you can change your sex’ policy of neutrality rather than transgenderism advocacy.

I have long believed that politically driven “virtue-signaling” should be eradicated from every public school curriculum. There’s something inherently pathetic about a U.S. high school graduate who knows everything there is to know about the Holocaust and the slave trade but couldn’t even answer 20% of the questions correctly on a test about the U.S. Constitution.

"two equal sides protocol."

(?) Where is it written that we must respect and give homage to the lie... What is wrong, is wrong and what is right, once proven to be so, is right.. No matter how hard the liberals try they can't make the truth a lie or a lie the truth... Evil is not good, up is not down and the left sure the heck ain't right..

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.

It should also be made clear that no one believes Latson is a Holocaust denier

I do believe that denying that the Holocaust occurred, does indeed make you a Holocaust denier.

Spanish River High School Principal William Latson told a parent that as a public school official he needed to remain “politically neutral” — sensitive to both Holocaust education advocates and people who deny the destruction of six million Jews during World War II.

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?

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).
