    Everything he wrote is true. And you are basically an agent for that agenda, so no wonder you are defending it on this forum as well.

    You have become a laughing stock. Almost nothing he wrote was true and the article highlights his own ignorance.

    It's anecdotal at best. Given the lack of understanding he displays in the writing casts doubt on his interpretation of anything he claimed.

    If you choose to believe his writing propaganda, that is on you.

    A lot of teachers are leftist propagandists, like you.

    I don't know what you teach, but I hope you manage to keep your politics out of the classroom. Kids don't deserve this crap.

    COS COB, Conn. (TND) — An assistant principal working in the Greenwich Public Schools (GPS) system in Connecticut was caught on undercover video explaining how he doesn't hire teachers who are Catholics because they are more "conservative," and that he prefers hiring progressive teachers because they are "savvy about delivering a Democratic message" to students.

    Jeremy Borland, the assistant principal at Cos Cob Elementary School, can be heard on undercover video from Project Veritas admitting he refused to hire teaching candidates based on religion, politics and age, something he does to "make an impact."

    "The conservative [teacher], who is stuck in her ways. I’ll never be able to fire her, and I’ll never be able to change her. So, I make an impact with the next teacher I hire," Boland can be heard saying on undercover video from Project Veritas. "For one position, I think we had 30 applicants. So out of all those applicants, I don’t think I interviewed anybody over the [age] of 30the older you get, the more set in your ways -- the more conservative you get."

    Boland says he looks for young teachers with progressive politics because they are "savvy about delivering a Democratic message" to students.


    "You're teaching them [children] how to think. That’s it. It doesn’t matter what they think about. If they think about it in a logical, progressive way, that becomes their habit," Boland says.





    GPS Superintendent Dr. Toni Jones sent two messages to district staff and families after Project Veritas's investigation went viral.

    In the first message, the district said it intended to open "a full investigation" into the matter, while its follow-up email subsequently indicated Boland had been placed on administrative leave.

    "We do not support any opinions that promote discriminatory hiring practices based on race, religion, gender, or age in any way, and we want to remind our entire community that our curriculum policies and procedures are strictly enforced by our Board," Jones told GPS staff and family.

    There are currently four investigations underway into the allegations against Boland, according to WTNH News in New Haven, including a civil rights investigation by Connecticut Attorney General William Tong.





    "Yesterday, most of us saw for the first time a video that appears to contain troubling, discriminatory statements that appear to have been made by a Greenwich public school official," Tong said in a statement Thursday. "Today, I am invoking my civil rights enforcement authority to investigate any potentially illegal discrimination or other actionable misconduct related to that video."

    The National Desk (TND) reached out to Boland for comment, but did not hear back. If a response is received this story will be updated.

    If that assistant principal had said he doesn't hire Muslims, this would have been one of the bigger stories in the news in the US.

    Are you ok with that assistant principal discriminating against Catholics?

    Until we get the unedited source footage, nothing he said has any meaning since it comes from Veritas

    He got suspended.

    Convenient to attack the messenger so you can avoid addressing the question.

    I can believe there are a lot of Left leaning teachers but Project Veritas' record makes me question anything they would put out. Given they've lost a few times in court for misleading videos shows no one should trust them.

    Project Veritas has a record of heavily edited (misleading) videos obtained through lies and deceptions.

    Most do not trust propaganda videos from the CCP on covid. Posting content from Project Vertias to support your view is not so different from someone posting propaganda videos from CCP to support their view.

    That article was definitely right wing propaganda and it seemed like most of the anecdotes were made up whole cloth. I'm really surprised the kids in his school weren't peeing in litter boxes.

    Is it still rude to call DeSantis and his supporters fascist?

    I'm expecting to hear DeSantis annouce "Safe Spaces" for FL students. We can't have the reading or hearing stuff that might be upsetting and indoctrinating.
