"It is out of an abundance of concern and respect for the students and staff of Spanish River Community High School that School District Administration has decided to reassign Principal William Latson effective immediately," the School District of Palm Beach County wrote in a statement.In April 2018, a parent reached out to William Latson, the principal at Spanish River Community High School in Boca Raton, with a question about how the school handles the Holocaust in its curriculum.
""The District's curriculum is based on historical fact," the statement added.CNN has filed a public information request and reached out to Latson as well as the district for further comment.
Reassigned? He should have been fired!
Don't get me wrong , but this Holocaust is making me sick for years , not even Israel or Poland comments so much , million of our own american were killed , don't here nothing from them and Germany.
What's next? Teaching the American Revolution isn't factual? That slavery wasn't factual?
WTF!!!!
It's pretty sad he should be fired
What! It happed
America!! No wonder racist keeps growing!! School system turn Nazi.
Maybe he or she shouldn't be in education, full stop.
It is very hard to understand his position or the fact he felt okay voicing that opinion. Dumb on two levels. Education on the horrors of the holocaust, fascism, and socalism should be mandatory and rigorous. It is the only way to honor the 100M+ people that needlessly died.
No matter how stupid, he's unionized.
Before everyone has a fit i am just asking ok. What happend to free speech?
He will probably end up as Education Secretary!
Why reassigned! If this is an educator that can’t teach facts, read, see videos and read the millions of testimonies he should not hold that job and be fired. This is not an opinion. Scary that we have people kids are looking up to that are so ignorant
He knows nothing ABOUT WWII ? How did he ever end up A Principal at learning Facility? I wouldn't let my dog walker fix my residential wiring!!
He should never teach again. We can never forget that history lesson.
reassigned ? Send him back to school ,grade school ! No wonder we have confused children running around , why would you let this person have another chance to be around children ?
Reassigned? Should have been fired. Period.
Reassigned? Not fired? Disgusting
How about firing him
They need to first send him on a field trip to Poland and Germany.
And he was reassigned? He needs to find a new profession... one that will not impact the minds of children.
Donald Trump praticou algo muito maior que o holocausto no Qatar para roubar as reservas de petróleo e gás que passam a baixo do Irã 🇮🇷 montou uma base militar antes no Qatar mataram milhares de pessoas com a família do emir preso e ele chantageado violentado holocausto!
In America they choose to believe Trump so no wonder !
How does moving/ promoting him to a new job change him? Would you throw that kid out of school or move him to a new school. This move shows you agree with his ignorance and you are no different. Call me so I can educate you.
He must be a Democrat, they want to doubt everything and change historical facts. IMO, THE GUY NEEDS FIRED.
He made a mistake, and was suspended. He should know better now, and be given the chance others we condemn didnt give!
What causes these nutjobs to think like this ? Is there a Stupid Cult where they hang out ?
That principal is an idiot. Hope they never teach again.
A principal of a school who said the Holocaust was not a real happening was reassigned. Reassigned?
Sounds like Liberals want to erase history period! Take a look at George Washington HS in San Francisco, they want to destroy an 83 yr old mural depicting Washington as a soldier, surveyor, statesman and signer of the Declaration of Independence!
Isn’t it odd that a principal, at least we I live at, has to have a doctorate’s degree, make almost 150K a year to be a bully. This one has a PHD in stupidity.
Send him to Auschwitz
Reassigned with the flat earthers?
Such ignorance & hate!!
My sons school at Wellington High has an outstanding Holocaust studies program. He even won the essay contest from PBC to visit the Holocaust Museum. If they had kept me at Spanish River I was going to ask if I could teach Holocaust studies.
He should be fired!
When my contract was “not renewed” last year by principal Latson I thought well .. that’s a bummer. I really enjoyed working at Spanish River. I teach History. I never changed my name after my divorce.. Lefkowitz..now I’m wondering?
My father-in-law helped to liberate the concentration camps. The Holocaust was definitely a real historical event. Right wing extremists came up with this idiotic conspiracy theory about it being fake years ago.
Guess he couldn’t concentrate
FreePalestine
Why should another school suffer?
Can probably get a job on most college campuses.
Reassigned to what vice principle?
I guess he really felt emboldened by trump's philosophy of hatred.
He should never be allowed to teach again
Should have been fired. How have we allowed hateful white supremacists to enter into civil society?
The fact that I have no followers doesn’t change the FACT that 6 million innocent Jews were murdered.
Why does he still have a job?
And he would be right...
Reassigned? What a bunch of crap! How about “fired!”. They need to fire this douche bag. This is unbelievably offensive not to mention completely false history being taught to our children!
Where has he been. Boy he should be fired not relocated
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
The principal is correct.. his job is to teach children the truth..
We all castigated knowing fully well, the teacher could be naive, just like most of us making comments don’t know the date the start and end of civil war in the United States
Oh I know, he’ll be reassigned to a high level position in 💩hole’s administration!!!
Reassigned? Should be fired!!!
Obviously a democrat.
REASSIGNED? This guy shouldn't be anywhere near a public school!!!
Revisionist world history?
Go to Auchwitz instead I did it was daunting and extremely sad ....
Must be a Catholic school. They Reassign people like this.
He should be fired!
So just 'reassigned'? Wow!
It's Flordia - not shocked at all....
Liberal education
He’s got no business being anywhere around a school
The school officials who ' reassigned ' this so called teacher need to 'reassigned ' themselves.
No kidding. Please tell me where the re-assignment is so I can find out the poor school who got stuck with this guy. No one deserves him
We are living in frightening times
That principal must have gone to trump university...
He’ll be reassigned to a Breitbart anchor post shortly.
And this is why it’s imperative that we teach history and require books like 1984 and NIGHT
Reassigned? To where?
Florida Florida Florida
Somewhere along the way the district told employees to say this.
I guess I now see why people struggle to believe the gospel (there were over 500 eye witnesses) when educated people can somehow call the murder of 6 million people a ”belief” and at a time when we still have living eye witnesses as well as the physical camps. Blows my mind!!
Love you so
no Qatar o genocidio pide ser comparado ao holocausto tamanha a brutalidade cometida lembrando que Aécio Neves e casado com a neta do general cruz de ouro da SS de hitler nunca um mínimo país foi tratado dessa forma nem um lider árabe defendendo seu mínimo país coitados
He should never be allowed in a school again unless it’s to take a history course on WWII.
He wasn’t there so in his mind it didn’t happen.?.
Not factual, historical event ? So all the film footage from liberated concentration camps is fake He is probably one of those people that thinks 9/11 is a conspiracy too I bet 🤬🤬
