History Teacher Fired for Allowing Students to Question “Holocaust” Loses Lawsuit On Appeal

By Eric Striker | National Justice | April 27, 2020

Jason Mostafa Ali, a New Jersey history teacher of Egyptian descent, had his appeal in a lawsuit alleging discrimination at the hands of the principal at his school tossed out of federal court.

The dispute began in 2017, when Woodbridge High School’s Jewish principal Glenn Lottman lobbied local Superintendant Robert Zega to have him fired.

Zega and Lottman terminated Ali after he allowed students in the class to question the Holocaust and whether the Mossad aided Al Qaeda during the 9/11 terror attacks.

The students were questioning the Holocaust and the legacy of Hitler on their own. Ali only encouraged the students to engage in critical thinking without ideological input.

Public schools supposedly protect the First Amendment, yet in this case, Ali was punished for merely allowing the students to read their papers out loud.

One of the papers was based on the documentary “Adolf Hitler: The Greatest Story Never Told,” showing just how far revisionists have come in impacting the debate over the Second World War. An English teacher overheard it being discussed and informed on Ali and his students to administrators.

After being interrogated by Zega and Lottman on why he didn’t punish the students for “denying” the Holocaust, Ali affirmed the right to question everything. He was then fired.

During his trial, Ali argued that he had a First Amendment right to set his own lesson plans, and his students had a right to examine history from whatever perspective they saw having the most compelling evidence. The Judge in the case, Madeline Cox Arleo, said he did not and Lottmann had a right to fire him.

Jennifer Rich, a Jewish professor in “Genocide Studies,” was called in to provide expert testimony in the case. She lauded the suppression of ideas she doesn’t like and condemned Ali in an op-ed for the liberal clickfarm Raw Story.

Ali also alleges that Principal Lottman would constantly make discriminatory remarks, like referring to him as a terrorist and “that Egyptian.” Ali put extra emphasis on this part of his case when moving to the appellate court.

Appeals to the Civil Rights Act in politically sensitive cases tends to do better in lower courts than invoking the actual Constitution, but the US Court of Appeals’ 3rd Circuit decided not to give his case any more oxygen. This is yet another blow to free speech.

While this story is being widely reported, neither conservative “free speech” advocates or the ACLU appear to have any problem with this attack on the First Amendment.

  1. Would studies of the holodomor be similarly censored?

  2. IT just shows how desperate the Zionists have become to suppress any questioning of the central core of their ‘story’ about WWII. NO ONE is allowed to question the ‘story’ that during WWII, Adolph Hitler, as if he had nothing better to do, than locate, identify, round up, transport, 6,000,000 people to some POW camps and Gas them in quite small Gas chambers, then get someone to take the bodies out and bury them.

    Just the fact that NO ONE is allowed to even QUESTION it, seems to suggest that ‘maybe it isn’t true’?

  3. In 1925 John Thomas Scopes, “…was accused of violating Tennessee’s Butler Act, which had made it unlawful to teach human evolution in any state-funded school.” as defined in a Wikipedia entry. The entire story has much more to it than what is quoted, but the now similarity to the censoring is clear.

    In this case, the censorship is political. The Zionist and Jewish narrative is censoring any discussion it deems contrary to its view. In some European countries, to do so has resulted in prosecution as to do so is now a criminal offense.

    The investigation of is even deemed “Holocaust denial” and thus violates laws which criminalize doing so.

    Likewise, many states in America have instituted laws which force choice upon businesses which would object to the Zionist state’s treatment of its subjugated population. In other words, to BDS Israel is against a law in America and can be a punishment of various kinds.

    Thus, Israel has come to establish laws for Americans which enforce only what Israel wants to have as speech, or teaching, or business. If this enforcement is championed by Americans, whether they are Jewish or not, that championing and enforcement thus codified into being a criminal act has now nullified one of the most important guarantees for America, won and enshrined by those who fought to have as a Bill of Rights and guaranteed in what they wanted constituted as a law of the land, framed in what is called The Constitution.

    America, to abide by what a foreign country demands and its partisans domestic, has resulted in your loss, and a foreign country’s dictate over you.
    You have now become the subject of a dictatorship. The dictator is Israel. A dictator is simply defined as having unlimited power. That power is exercised by way of a police state which does as the dictator directs.

    In Israel, routinely a Palestinian is arrested, incarcerated without trial, held indefinitely without the right of habeas corpus. Cruel and unusual punishment is often meted out to the prisoner, if not torture and death.

    That is what is coming for you, America, if you do not rise against what Israel is having put in place, is doing to your citizens.
