“We recognize there are not two sides of the Holocaust.”
. Peddy, who is the executive director of curriculum and instruction for the school district, made the comment while talking to teachers about how to comply with a new Texas law, House Bill 3979, which requires multiple perspectives when teachers discuss “widely debated and currently controversial issues.” Lawmakers have said the measure was passed as a way to prevent schools from teaching “critical race theory.
When Peddy told teachers during the training session, which was secretly recorded, that they needed to include “other perspectives” on the Holocaust, several teachers spoke up. “How do you oppose the Holocaust?” one teacher asked. “Believe me,” Peddy replied. “That’s come up.” Educators have long opposed the measure, saying it was vague and would have a chilling effect on discussions in the classroom.
