US principal who refused to call Holocaust 'factual, historic event' removed

A Florida high school principal was removed from his job and reassigned Monday after writing in an email to a parent that he couldn't "say the Holocaust is a factual, historical event."

Feingold called the school system Monday, and Frank Barbieri Jr., chair of the School Board of Palm Beach County, said: "He told me that there is no room anywhere in any school system on the planet for an anti-Semite." The Palm Beach Post first published copies of the email exchange last week between the principal and a parent.

The school board released a statement Monday saying: "Mr. Latson made a grave error in judgment in the verbiage he wrote in an email stating, 'I can't say the Holocaust is a factual, historical event because I am not in a position to do so as a school district employee.' In addition to being offensive, the principal's statement is not supported by either the School District Administration or the School Board.

He shouldn't be teaching children. I'm 56 wit a fair amount of pent up anger, menopause and a fierce dislike in teachers = he'll be starting a new Resistance in 14 days flat! Just offering!
