(Rialto, CA) — A Southern California school isn’t going to have its students debate whether the Holocaust occurred or not after all. …. Police in Rialto say at least one death threat was made against the Rialto school superintendent after the assignment ended up in the news. Eighth-grade students were being asked to write a political debate about whether the Holocaust truly happened or was a “political scheme.” District officials are now admitting the whole idea was a big mistake.
