The former principal caused national anger by telling a parent he “can’t say the Holocaust is a factual, historical event because I am not in a position to do so as a school district employee.'

The apology is Latson's first personal expression of remorse since his Holocaust comments were revealed in July 2019. It comes as school board members, struggling to grapple with the sustained outrage surrounding his case, prepare for a new vote Monday.

He appealed his termination, and an administrative law judge ruled in August that the board had gone too far in firing him. Days later, School Board Chairman Frank Barbieri asked board members to reconsider. To do so, one of the four board members who voted to reinstate him would have to change their vote.

In the video, Latson acknowledged the timing of his apology would lead some to question its sincerity.

He should be fired.

He is out of his mind

Boy Bye!

So this is what’s teaching our children these days

Too late !

This is probably the same person that’s says blm is a good group?

There is a museum memorial in DC you should visit! But before you go read a book, Anne Frank is a start! Victor Frankel Mans search for meaning, also Watch Schindler’s list.

You would think with Trump feeling the USA up with racist and supremacist that black people might just finally get on board with Jewish people and vice versa

A man in charge of educating youth, telling a parent that he cannot prove the Holocaust ever happened DOES NOT DESERVE SUCH A POSITION IN ANY SAID ACADEMIC INSTITUTE. PERIOD.

Nope 👎 that’s just an excuse to be mean

NO

So terribly sad, education of School Principals must be the same as education of doctors... even C- students can get a job with a bogus degree.

People denying that the Holocaust happened might as well deny that 9/11 happened. There are still survivors from internment camps who have numbers on their arm. The horrors are unimaginable and it is disgusting that people try to deny it.

What a moron

I recommend a visit to Auschwitz or Buchenwald to open the eyes of this fool. 🤦🏾‍♂️

Shameful!

Tony Bobulinski . Tony Bobulinski ..Tony Bobulinski ...Tony Bobulinski .....Tony Bobulinski .......Tony Bobulinski Tony Bobulinski. Tony Bobulinski.. Tony Bobulinski... Tony Bobulinski.... .Tony Bobulinski.....

He's not sorry. Kick him out the door.

Twitter allows holocaust deniers to tweet their lies, but censors news reports about CrookedJoeBiden getting money from foreign oligarchs through his son, Hunter. Why does that makes sense to you, Jack?

Fire him. He’s a moron.

Why not fired?
