A principal of a Florida high school has been removed from his job after he allegedly refused to say the Holocaust actually happened because "not everyone believes" the historical event — in which more than six million people were murdered — actually happened.

William Latson, principal of Spanish River High School in Boca Raton, was reassigned to an unspecified new position, the Palm Beach County School District said in a statement, as the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported.

But I'm sure he's all for slavery reparations.

Shuffling/reassigning—rather than firing—unacceptable personnel is one of public education’s biggest obstacles to excellence.

I'll get hell for this, but I will say it anyway.

There is so much of a fear of being called an anti-semite or nazi sympathizer, that people fear questioning anything at all about the holocaust. This has led to falsehoods being repeated so much that eventually they are ingrained as fact in holocaust lore.

A big example of this are people who claim their grandfather liberated death camps. No Americans liberated any death camps - the Russians did.

Another example are the numerous number of fake holocaust survivors out there who have profitted off of pretending to be a holocaust survivor. Similar to stolen valor for the military.

You even have holocaust survivors who lied about what they experienced. Examples are those who say the nazis turned some jews into items like lampshades and soap, both of which aren't true, but people believe it to this day anyway. There was one survivor who eventually admitted his story about surviving the gas chambers was not true, and justified it by saying "it was real in my mind".

For me, I think the 6 million figure for the death toll is exaggerated.

Americans liberated Dachau for one and pretty certain they also liberated Buchenwald as well. There are a few more that I can't remember.

What’s your estimate?
I’d guess there’s a 90% chance you won’t give one.

Well after the Soviet Union collapsed they changed all the numbers. To figure up the 6 million figure you had 4 million jews die at auchwitz. Now it says 900,000 jews died there. Almost all the other "death" camps have far less, like majdanek being two million now is 78,000. It is still illegal to point out that the death camp numbers add up to nowhere near 6 million in a lot of countries in Europe though.

Ok AOC. I don't care what you call them, concentration, death or labor camps...they didn't go there for an education or leisure, they went there to die.

"Reassigned Florida principal is a fricking idiot" should have been the headline.

There were no mass executions at Buchenwald. The deaths there were from starvation or disease. There were no gas chambers or other forms of mass killings there.

All of the camps where mass executions took place existed in Poland.
