Cowboys' Sham, 'I have friends who are Holocaust survivors. Tell them it didn't happen.' [View all]

Carroll ISD has apologized, and while that’s all well and good now is an ideal time as any to remind you that the sun rose in the east yesterday, that Abe Lincoln was once the president of the United States, and the Holocaust happened.

These are all facts.

To elaborate on this subject further I reached out to the longtime radio voice of the Dallas Cowboys, Brad Sham, and the radio voice of the Texas Rangers, Eric Nadel. Both men are Jewish.

Both are well aware of the story that broke late this week by NBC that featured Carroll ISD Gina Peddy, the executive director of curriculum, was recorded as she told a teacher, “Make sure that if, if, if you have a book on the Holocaust, that you have one that has opposing, that has the other perspective.”

Carroll superintendent Lane Ledbetter has since issued a statement apologizing, and said there are not sides to this subject.

Nonetheless, for citizens of the world, not just Jewish people, that this sort of sentence is ever uttered needs to be refuted, and shamed.
