Rialto Unified School District is aschool district inSan Bernardino County, California, serving most ofRialto, sections ofColton,Fontana andSan Bernardino, and thecensus-designated place ofLytle Creek.[2][3]
The school district has about 26,485 students, 3,800 staff, and a budget of about $200 million.
The district's first schoolhouse, which opened in 1888, was a part of theBrooke School District. The Rialto school district was formed out of the Brooke district on April 9, 1891.[4]
In 2014, the school district and its interim superintendent were criticized for introducing a writing assignment which asked students to argue that the Holocaust did not happen.[5] This assignment was given to all 8th grade students.[6] Students were provided with a very limited selection of sources, including material from a knownHolocaust denial website, but were not allowed access to the internet or other materials that show that this material had been discredited.[7] A follow-up investigation byThe San Bernardino Sun found that (contrary to the district's initial claims) at least 50 of the 2,000 students taking the test ended up concluding that the Holocaust did not occur. The district has apologized and promised not to repeat the exercise, and also sent all the eighth graders to visit theMuseum of Tolerance inLos Angeles, a museum known for its exhibits about the Holocaust.[8]
On May 10, 2014 Kolb Middle School won the first ever championship for its district. They beat Jehue Middle School, 36-34.
The undefeated 5-0 Cougars faced Jehue (4-1) on May 15, 2015. Kolb beat them again, by a blowout of 60-15. They were the only school to score double digits on the Cougars all season. The Cougars were the First team in the district to have an undefeated wrestling season, 6-0.
'When tragic events occur in history, there is often debate about their actual existence... For example, some people claim the Holocaust is not an actual historical event, but instead is a propaganda tool that was used for political and monetary gain. Based upon your research on this issue, write an argumentative essay, utilizing cited textual evidence, in which you explain whether or not you believe the Holocaust was an actual event in history, or merely a political scheme created to influence public emotion and gain. Remember to address counterclaims (rebuttals) to your stated claim. You are also required to use parenthetical (internal) citations and to provide a Works Cited page.'
