Florida Principal Removed After Refusing to Call Holocaust ‘Factual’
A principal at a Boca Raton, Florida, high school who came under fire over the weekend for denying that the Holocaust was a “factual, historical event” in an email to a parent has been removed from his post, the district announced on Monday.
William Latson, the principal at Spanish River Community High School, was reassigned to a position with the district after the email exchange from April 2018 made national news.
“It is out of an abundance of concern and respect for the students and staff of Spanish River Community High School that school district administration has decided to reassign Principal William Latson effective immediately,” the school district of Palm Beach County wrote in a statement, according to The Palm Beach Post.
