Florida principal William Latson told the mom that some families don't believe the WWII atrocities occurred.
Florida high school principal William Latson reportedly told the mother of a student, “Not everyone believes the Holocaust happened” regarding the history curriculum.
That mother, who did not want the newspaper to publish her name, reportedly told Latson, “The Holocaust is a factual, historical event. It is not a right or a belief.” The mother met with Latson and administrators, challenging them on supposed lessons that her child claimed weren’t being taught, reported The Palm Beach Post. “I came out of there feeling so much worse,” the mother told the paper. “How do you pick and choose history?”
Officials from the Spanish River High School, The School District of Palm Beach County, and the school board did not return outreach from Yahoo Lifestyle. Deputy Schools Superintendent Keith Oswald told the Palm Beach Post that assemblies are slated for the 2019-2020 school year. He says that Latson was not disciplined for his comments.
