“Not everyone believes the Holocaust happened, and you have your thoughts, but we are a public school and not all of our parents have the same beliefs so they will react differently.” – Florida High School Principal

“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,” wrote Florida high school principal William Latson in an email to the mother of a student, Yahoo! Lifestyle reported.
Latson also wrote that Holocaust education is “to be introduced but not forced upon individuals, as we all have the same right but not all the same beliefs.” Click here to continue reading.

I saw an amazing article in the newspaper today. The state of Oregon has ruled that the truth of the Holocaust MUST be taught in public school classrooms, including all forms of media. Apparently a Jewish group demanded this. Good for them!
Now if only they would teach the truth about everything else.

Bob, what you are saying makes no sense.

Do you really think a principal should be removed from his position for his opinion an historical event? What if some one denied that Jesus existed? Should he be removed from his position? Just trying to clarify. Too much censorship goes on, either we have freedom of conscience and expression or we don’t.

That (now former, thank the Lord) high school principal was not educated — he was indoctrinated. As is happening (and has been happening, for decades) in public “education” all across the land, from pre-kindergarten all the way up to the most elite universities.
GOD help our young people!!! Only He can.

The Holocaust is the most documented event in history; it is not an opinion. It is disgusting that many people in the world deny obvious facts in history. I am glad this principal was removed from his position.
