Listening to the audio, I'm not 100% sure that the administrator was actually endorsing the idea that people should teach the controversy about the Holocaust; it could be that she's saying "this is what the law says, like it or not." The way she's saying it, that interpretation could be plausible.
Either way, I'm convinced that results like this are exactly what you should expect when the law decides it's going to let far-right ideologies control what teachers teach, especially when the right is moving so far to the right that Twitter doesn't ban Nazis because their views are too similar to what mainstream conservatives profess.
It really amounts to the same thing - endorsing Holocaust denial. Based on Ms. Peddy’s tone, I don’t believe that she personally was engaging in denial, but it’s pretty clear that she was recommending that teachers, to avoid breaking the law, make such materials available to students.
