A Florida high school principal was removed from his job on Monday following comments he made about the Holocaust.
The school district describes Latson’s comments as a grave error in judgment but some are saying the decision to reassign him does not go far enough. Latson responded to the parent saying the lessons are “not forced upon individuals as we all have the same rights but not all the same beliefs” and that he could not “say the Holocaust is a factual, historical event because I am not in a position to do so as a school district employee,”The comments touched a nerve with Michael Zeidel, the former vice-president of the Jewish Student Union at Spanish River High School.
The School Board of Palm Beach County has reaffirmed its commitment to Holocaust education and said it “is, and always has been, committed to teaching all students, in every grade level, a historically accurate Holocaust curriculum; one which leaves no room for erroneous revisions of fact or the scourge of anti-Semitism,” according to a message released by Board Chairman Frank A. Barbieri Jr.
Ignorance is bliss
should be fired......in Canada he would get a medal
That should read 'reassigned to the unemployment line'. The fact that a supposed 'educator' refuses to identify the Holocaust as factual means they should be fired.
