Where the left's destruction of the concept of truth leads us; Holocaust edition

The principle of a public high school in Florida told a parent in an email:

“Not everyone believes the Holocaust happened,” “And you have your thoughts, but we are a public school and not all of our parents have the same beliefs.”

“I 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,”

Yes that's right someone who is supposedly competent to run a high school can't say whether or not 6,000,000 Jews, and 5 million non-Jews, were slaughtered by the Nazi's.

That's on par with saying that he couldn't be sure if things fall down rather than up.

The principle is now of course saying it was all just bad wording on his part but the truth is that he revealed the inevitable consequence of the modern left's denial of truth.

To the left reality is a malleable thing that can be contorted into whatever anyone wishes it to be.  The left speaks not of truth but of an individual's truth.  Amazingly the left actually contends that different people can have different truths.

The reality is that there is one truth.  There may be many different perceptions of that truth but there is only one truth.  Some people may seriously and sincerely believe that the sun orbits the earth but their belief doesn't change the truth that the earth orbits the sun.

Similarly a man may sincerely believe he's a woman but until he can change his DNA the truth is that he's not a woman.

But to the left the truth is a problem which must be fixed.  That's because pretty much every leftists policy goes against the truth.  The unborn girl who's aborted isn't a "clump of cells"; she's a human being.  The government can't simply print an infinite amount of money to pay for everything that the left wants as Modern Monetary Theory claims.  Welfare if not structured correctly tends to keep people in poverty contrary to the wishes of leftists.  Gun control doesn't reduce crime because it only impacts people who are law abiding in the first place despite the left's deep seated belief that guns, not people, kill.

Leftists confuse what they feel with knowledge and they attempt to justify that by pretending that we are gods who can change reality simply by willing it to change.

The truth is that we can't convert what we feel is true into truth; we're all forced to live in the one reality that God has given us.

The left lives in a delusional reality where casual sex has no adverse consequences, abortion doesn't kill people, gun control will stop crime even though the crime rate in places with stringent gun control is higher than in places without gun control, and all illegals are hard workers who don't cost the US taxpayer a plug nickel.

In the left's world the fact that some of the parents at the Spanish River High School in Boca Raton don't believe in the Holocaust means that the Holocaust didn't occur since we can all define our own "truth".  Sadly the 6,000,000 Jews who died in the Shoah didn't have the option of living in the delusional "truth" of those parents who deny reality.

The Principle is in hot water for doing what leftists do every day on issues like transgenderism or abortion; redefining reality to conform to the left's ideological agenda.

Is denying the Holocaust any more irrational than saying that a biological man is in fact a woman or that a very young human being is nothing more than a clump of cells?  While the scope of the horror associated with the Holocaust is far greater in all three cases people are denying facts and reality in order to advance their personal agendas.

This is where leftists are taking us; to a world where truth is defined by who is in power and where decisions are made based not on reality but fantasy.
