EXCLUSIVE: Holocaust denied by students in Rialto school assignment

Dozens of Rialto eighth-graders questioned whether the Holocaust occurred in essays written for an in-class assignment this spring.

Rialto Unified School District administrators, besieged by criticism after the assignment became public in May, claimed at the time that none of the students who completed the assignment questioned or denied the Holocaust, but a survey of the students’ work by this news organization found numerous examples of students expressing doubt or flatly denying that the Holocaust occurred.

Wake up people: this is in California! The more the world turns against Israel, the more it turns against all Jewish people. Step one in that process is denying the Shoah (Holocaust) because that was the event that momentarily made the world sympathetic toward the idea of a Jewish state.
