Principal who declined to say Holocaust was real is rehired A Florida high school principal who was fired last year after telling a student’s mother “not everyone believes the Holocaust happened” has been rehiredWEST PALM BEACH, Fla. -- A Florida high school principal who was fired last year after telling a student’s mother “not everyone believes the Holocaust happened” was rehired after a recommendation by an administrative law judge. The Palm Beach County school board voted 4-3 on Wednesday to reinstate former Spanish River High School principal William Latson and give him $152,000 in back pay, the Palm Beach Post reported. “If we rehire Dr. Latson, it is going be a stain on this school district that will never go away,” said Karen Brill, the board’s only Jewish member.
