A former high school principal at Spanish River Community High School in Boca Raton, Florida, has been fired over comments he made in an email to a parent about his not being in a position to confirm to students that the Holocaust was “a factual, historical event.”

When a parent asked him about how the school teaches its students about the Holocaust, Principal William Latson replied “I can’t say the Holocaust is a factual, historical event because I am not in a position to do so as a district employee.”
