(Jewish Group) Principal fired for second time over Holocaust remarks

The principal who made controversial remarks about the Holocaust has been fired for a second time.

The Palm Beach County School Board voted unanimously to rescind an Oct. 7 vote to rehire William Latson, former principal at Spanish River High in Boca Raton.

The earlier 4-3 vote was based on the ruling of an administrative law judge that Latson was improperly fired in 2019, but Chairman Frank Barbieri called for a new vote, saying School Board members may not have realized the judge’s decision was a recommendation

Latson made comments in a 2018 email saying that as a school district employee, he could not confirm that the Holocaust was a factual event.
