Florida principal to parent: 'Not everyone believes the Holocaust happened' [View all]

A US high school principal in Boca Raton, Florida has told a parent who inquired about the school’s educational plan for teaching the Holocaust that “not everyone believes the Holocaust happened.”

Spanish River Community High School principal William Latson in an email in April 2018 first told the parent that “the curriculum is to be introduced but not forced upon individuals as we all have the same rights but not all the same beliefs.”

The exchange of emails was first reported Friday by the Palm Beach Post, which obtained the emails through a public records request.

With about 2,500 students, the school is said to have one of the county’s largest Jewish student populations in the United States, according to the report.
