The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit has upheld a New Jersey school district’s decision to fire a teacher, who allegedly taught his high school history students Holocaust denial and conspiracy theories claiming the U.S. government played a role in the 9/11 attacks.
Jason Mostafa Ali, a history teacher at Woodbridge High, was fired in 2016 after complaints of him instructing students to question the veracity of the Holocaust history, and requiring students to read articles from Egypt and Saudi Arabia that suggested the United States “planned and carried out” the 9/11 attacks and was planning a similar one to blame on ISIS.
