ANTI-CATHOLIC SCHOOL OFFICIAL MUST BE FIRED<\/a><\/p>\nJeremy Boland is the Assistant Principal of Cos Cob Elementary School, a private school in Greenwich, Connecticut. He must be fired immediately.<\/p>\n
There is no place for an admitted bigot in education, whether the school is private or public. He has stated\u2014the evidence is indisputable\u2014that he would never hire a Catholic. Had he said he would never hire an African American, they wouldn\u2019t still be thinking about what to do with him.<\/p>\n
Boland made his admission in a video filmed by a Project Veritas journalist. He oversees the hiring of teachers. After saying he prefers to hire \u201cprogressive\u201d teachers because they are \u201cmore savvy about delivering the Democratic message without ever having to mention their politics,\u201d he was asked about hiring teachers who are religious.<\/p>\n
Boland<\/strong>: \u201cI\u2019m not a huge expert on religion, but Protestants in this area [of Connecticut] are probably the most liberal. But if they\u2019re Catholic\u2014conservative<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\nVeritas Journalist<\/strong>: \u201cOh, so then what do you do with the Catholics? If you find someone is Catholic, then what?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nBoland<\/strong>: \u201cYou don\u2019t hire them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nVeritas Journalist<\/strong>: \u201cSo, would you never hire a Catholic then?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nBoland<\/strong>: \u201cNo, I don\u2019t want to\u2026Because if someone is raised hardcore Catholic, it\u2019s like they\u2019re brainwashed. You can never change their mindset.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\nDr. Toni Jones, Superintendent of Greenwich Schools, says she is going to do a \u201cfull investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n
There is no role for an admitted anti-Catholic bigot in any school in the nation. What makes this case a legal slam dunk is that Boland is not simply spewing anti-Catholic vitriol, he is in charge of hiring and has explicitly said he would not hire Catholics. That is illegal.<\/p>\n
If justice is not done by Dr. Jones, and other school officials, the Catholic League will pursue every legal challenge available.<\/p>\n
Hmmm, I'm brainwashed… Here's an 80 second Project Veritas video explaining things –<\/p>\n
