Florida school board reverses decision to reinstate principal fired for Holocaust denial

(November 2, 2020 / JNS) The principal of a high school in the heavily Jewish city of Boca Raton, Fla., who was initially reinstated earlier this month after being fired last year after he declined to recognize that the Holocaust occurred has again been fired.

Following weeks of outrage, including from the Jewish and pro-Israel community, the Palm Beach County School Board voted unanimously on Monday to rescind its decision to rehire Spanish River High School principal William Latson.
