A former Floria high school principal who expressed doubt about the legitimacy of the Holocaust has been terminated.
The Palm Beach County School Board on Tuesday voted 5-2 to end William Latson’s employment at Spanish River Community High School, CNN reported, citing records from the board meeting. Latson had previously been reassigned after revelations about his views of the Holocaust surfaced.
In response to a parent’s email in April 2018 asking how the school taught the Holocaust, Latson responded, “I can’t say the Holocaust is a factual, historical event because I am not in a position to do so as a district employee.”
“Not everyone believes the Holocaust happened,” Latson wrote in one of the emails. “And you have your thoughts, but we are a public school and not all of our parents have the same beliefs.”
