On April 22, 2020, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals unequivocally rejected Holocaust denial and 9/11 conspiracy theories to uphold a public school district’s right to prohibit inappropriate teaching in its classrooms.
Judge Joseph Greenaway began Ali v. Woodbridge Township School District, ___ F.3d ___, 2020 U.S. App. Lexis 12906 (3rd Cir. 2020), with a strong statement denouncing the presentation of “alternative facts” to a class of impressionable ninth graders:
At times, there are nuances that arise from history that create equivocation in analyzing how, why, and when certain historic events have occurred. There are no nuances to be discerned regarding the Holocaust. It is a historic fact. That tragic event in human history along with the 9/11 terrorist attacks lie at the center of this matter.
