A former New Jersey high school teacher fired for indoctrinating students with anti-Semitic revisionist history about the Holocaust and September 11 terrorist attacks won’t be heading back to class.

Jason Mostafa Ali lost his federal lawsuit against the Woodbridge Township School District over his termination in September 2016. Ali alleged he was fired from Woodbridge High School over his race and religion, and argued the district violated his rights, but the Third Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed, Bridgewater Courier News reports.

Ali, a non-practicing Muslim Egyptian, landed the history teaching job at Woodbridge with the recommendation of superintendent Robert Zega, but he didn’t even make it through the first year before the complaints came pouring in.

Teachers at the school complained students were questioning historical facts about the Holocaust, alleging “Hitler didn’t hate the Jews,” and arguing death counts were “exaggerated.” Ali’s students submitted written assignments “embracing theories of Holocaust denials” and expressing doubts about the official account of 9/11.

The Courier News reports:

In a vocabulary assignment, one student wrote: “Adolf Hitler was the leader of Germany. He is looked at as a bad guy but in reality brought Germany out of its great depression.”

In an essay, another student expressed the following beliefs: “I think that what they claim happened in the concentration camps did not really happen. I highly doubt that everyday [sic] Jews were burned. I doubt that they were whipped and beat for nothing at all. What I do believe however is that they had a much easier and more enjoyable life in the camps. Even though they were not at home, they felt like they were.” …

Another excerpt from a class assignment that a student had submitted to Ali stated, “Hitler had the plan that saved Germany, which does not make any sense as to why everyone still labels him as this monster.” 

Another student submitted an essay entitled, “A Gas Chamber Full of Lies.”

When asked whether he was “proud” that the student came to these conclusions, Ali testified in court, “Yes, absolutely, because that means she would have spent a lot of time doing research to come up with these inferences based on the information she was given.”

In an email to Ali, one student wrote she was convinced “the story of 9/11 is completely different than the one we’ve been told.”

Another came to the “personal” conclusion “that jetfuel does not burn at a high enough temperature to melt steel,” and “the planning of 9/11 had to do with the gathering of government officials and terrorists.”

The last straw came when Ali posted articles from the Egyptian Daily to the school website. One was titled “U.S. Planned, Carried Out 9/11 Attacks – But Blames Others for Them.” The other: “U.S. Planning 9/11 Style Attack Using ISIS in Early 2015 – Like it Did Using Al-Qaeda in 2001.”

Ali was fired after a reporter questioned Zega about the links.

“Evidence such as the students’ assignments … and Ali’s deposition testimony show that Ali permitted conspiracy-theorist and Hitler-apologist presentations in his class and encouraged students to develop these opinions,” the 3rd Circuit Court wrote in the April 22 decision, according to EdWeek.

The court rejected Ali’s discrimination claim as well as his defense that posting “alternative views” on the school website constituted protected free speech.

“Based on our case law, Ali did not have a right to decide what would be taught in the classroom,” the court said.

“There are no nuances to be discerned regarding the Holocaust. It is a historic fact,” the ruling read. “That tragic event in human history along with the 9/11 terrorist attacks lie at the center of this matter.”

“We are pleased that the Third Circuit Court of Appeals also concluded that the Board’s actions were appropriate,” said Jonathan Busch, the attorney for the Woodbridge Township Board of Education. “Barring an appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, the decision stands.”
