School officials in Florida have fired a high school principal again over comments he made regarding the Holocaust

A Florida high school principal was fired again on Monday over a comment he made to a student's parent last year regarding the Holocaust.

The Palm Beach County School Board's vote on Monday morning reversed an earlier decision to reinstate Spanish River High School Principal William Latson.

Everybody on the board should be fired. I don't agree with what he said. What is the point of rehiring him and firing him again?

“he told a parent he “can’t say the Holocaust is a factual, historical event” because he wasn’t in a position to do so”

“Latson replied, “Not everyone believes the Holocaust happened.” He added, “You have your thoughts, but we are a public school and not all of our parents have the same beliefs.”

Ten bucks says this idiot is one of those everybody is a winner everybody gets a trophy morons

99% of teachers and school administrators give the 1% a bad name.

I don’t know how it works in FL, but here in MO, principals have very little employment protection, nothing like tenure. They basically serve at the pleasure of the board. It could well be that as the board members heard more complaints, they decided they’d be better off without him.

They obviously did not want to fire him but only retired him because of the public outrage. The legal problem is that he’s going to say it is transparently political in nature and so he should be compensated for breach of contract.

I can't state that the first firing of the a-hole was a factual event.

Can’t go around firing people just because they said something stupid. Aren’t we all occasionally guilty?

Who here’s said something stupid in the past?

Yeah, sounds bad.

But really, I have no idea of the context and no idea if he is being a jackass dumbkopf or is being railroaded over an out of context hysterical reaction by liberals.

I have FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE with this guy. When my son needed a second chance at Spanish River for his senior year he made my son transfer to Boca High for his senior year. If you want the details send me a PM.

I can say my son did everything required of him and this POS used my son as a pawn.

Fuck him.

I had a high school teacher with a death camp tattoo. She gave us a first hand account.
