A high school principal in Boca Raton, Florida, told a parent that"not everyone believes the Holocaust happened," according to email records obtained by thebetween the parent, who spoke to theon the condition of anonymity, and Spanish River Community High School principal William Latson.
"The curriculum is to be introduced but not forced upon individuals as we all have the same rights but not all the same beliefs," Latson said in his emailed response. In his reply, Latson expounded on his beliefs about the propriety of Holocaust education in public schools.
He’s a dnc volunteer and a Jamel’s Harris supporter
Born and raised in Florida and this is unfingacceptable
Appalling and unacceptable!
How can a historical fact be denied?
Maybe it's time for a survivor to visit them?
I guess next step is not taking a stance on the shape of the Earth. This is really weird. You’re a teacher. Teach the truth.
Well..........it's not like there's photographic evidence, right?
Why would there be any doubt? 🤦♂️
Principal: Haven't you seen the movie 'Max?' If the Jews had bought a few Hitler painting that whole WWII thing & alleged Holocaust could have been avoided.. - Florida high school principal told parent, 'Not everyone believes the Holocaust happened'
Can we have an intervention for Florida, please?
Florida
gaybcnews That's ok. Not everyone believes teachers are actually educated enough to teach anything.
Did he also tell them that... Not everyone believes in God Not everyone believes in science Not everyone believes in anything.....so at his school anything goes ?
Again - only in Florida
How did we get such shallow people in such high places?
When I read crap like this, there’s one thing I believe. I believe I shall have another drink and toast to our looming demise.
True, not everybody believes. Question: why some don’t believe? If they simply refuse to consider arguments...
I am sure the Germans just OUT OF NO WHERE felt this way towards Jews. It had nothing to do with degeneracy, their lies, underhanded ways of destroying society. Also, it obviously happened the way we are told because they have museums and indoctrination books. Questions? Nazi!
BaylessMarilyn Florida isn't known for its smarts.Children should know history of slavery,Holocaust and other cultures as well.
Fire that idiot on the spot!!!
Of course it's Florida. Where else? (Besides California, that is)
Fired.
That true, the group that does believe the Holocaust happened is called humans. The group that does believe it happened are called Nazi’s
Established facts are not a matter of opinion. To say what this person said draws a false equivalence between baseless opinions (obviously antisemitic in nature), and objective truth. This 'educator' is either a racist or uneducated or both. Should be fired at once.
Maybe direct quote from Gen Eisenhower who insisted on seeing personally
If the guy isn’t fired that is pathetic
Proposterous. Take a wild guess the religion of the parents who don't believe the Holocaust didn't happen...
this where the far left and far right shakes hands
Not everyone should be entertained. He’s failed as an educator.
(FLORIDA)......
Blacks. Typical. 'No other minority is stealing our victimization narrative, dammit!'
This is dangerous, we need to preserve history before its torn apart by the ignorant! We have had several genocide since then, Slavery happened to, apartheid happened too and it’s happening, oppression is on going around the world!
He does the same with Slavery. There’s a systematic campaign targeting schools to remove atrocities as they never happened. I’m sure this administration can care less about teaching the truth. It only makes our children stupid.
Thats because that principle has never watched history films or visited a camp.
Boca is ~12% Jewish; several standard deviations above median for US cities. Principal out of touch w/US reality, made salient by an over-represented Jewish community.. - Boca Raton FL HS principal to parent, 'Not everyone believes the Holocaust happened'
He has a right to his opinion. But he also has a responsibility to teach the holocaust in school
Principals have become so paranoid because of the fear of some politically correct parent calling them out. Hey parents!!! Let the teachers do their jobs!!!!!!
The principal has the same view on slavery, discuss. (20 marks)
The Holocaust happened, but there is no evidence that it happened. So someone believes, and someone not. I believe.
Just curious what Newsweek’s new news:new tweet ratio is...
OMG
And those people who believe that should live on an island all by themselves
It's true that there are people who don't believe that it happened. But denying history doesn't make it untrue. It just makes that person a moron
Floriduh
How does this person still have his job? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The real issue and only solution is the parents he won't face. They teach their kids what their parents taught them, etc, back to the Mayflower. Subsets include antivax and various antiscience. The holocaust is one step to erasing the whole era.
Where?
F-cking 2019 and people who deny facts and reality are still allowed to exercise power and control over others. Murica
Not everyone believes the Earth is round. People not believing does not change the FACT that it is true.
What’s up with the air, water, soil, food, DNA in Florida?
And, unfortunately, not everyone believes the moon landing happened either.
That principle should not have this job!
If only there was a place of learning that corrected such misbeliefs.
Another monster dumbing down our youth with their ignorance and bigotry. He better lose his job. Then again, being unfit for your role is all the rage these days.
Florida... the sunshine state. Come, vacation, deny the holocaust all on our sandy beaches!
Why is it ALWAYS Florida!
Was he fired?
Stick him in general population!
Wow! I bet Trump supporters would deny it since they love the Nazis
Was it actual denialism, or a correct observation that there are, in fact, denialists? Context matters a lot with that particular quote, I'd think.
I do hope he s not one that doesn't not think it happen ed
OMG
true statement, many do not believe the democrats are the only reason slavery continued for so long
HighestGoodLife Wow! That guy has no business in a public school in any state.
Pathetic. I bet he doesn't have the 'globes' to teach the Earth is round, either.
What salary is this Mensa candidate earning? Boca is filled w too many educated people of means to put up w this substandard excuse of an educator.
There are people that don’t believe it happened? Really?
it's true
He's not wrong. There are people who deny that it actually happened
Engaging in holocaust denialism to avoid the politics of holocaust denialism is a very underrated self-own.
It happened whether or not they ‘believe’ it. I’m sure of the facts. Some people don’t understand that facts are real, not opinions.
This so-called Principal needs to he fired immediately! Read some History books before visit all the death camps in Europe! What the Hell is going on here?
Sounds typical for Florida.
