Florida high school principal who was fired for refusing to say the Holocaust was a 'factual, historical event' in an email to a parent is REHIRED and handed $150k in backpay
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The decision to rehire and compensate former Spanish River Community High School Principal William Latson came following a 4-3 vote Wednesday

  • Watson was fired last year for emails he sent in April 2018, in which he said the Holocaust is a ‘belief’ that children at the school won’t be ‘forced’ to learn

  • But in August, an administrative law judge ruled that the school district lacked sufficient grounds for termination and recommended he be reinstated

  • That ruling was accepted by the board, though they voiced their reluctance

  • Latson will not return to Spanish River, he will instead will be placed in the district's assessment department as a 'principal on assignment'

  • The decision followed expressions of anger from board members and 90 minutes of recorded voicemails from Holocaust survivors

#2 It's always that way. We are not equal before the law. If you are a government employee you have to be out right convicted of a major crime to be fired. The abuses of civil service now out way the old patronage system. At least you could hold the old bosses accountable come election day.

#3 At least they aren’t giving him a school to poison, even if they are forced to spend limited funds on him instead of textbooks.
