We get more than Bridgeport but less than Greenwich. Not complaining but that is the way it is.
i get that’s there’s inequality. but here’s a way to address it in a way that could actually save money while improving education. And i still don’t get specifically why you oppose it, other than it might make some kids sad who’s miss the kids who leave. so should we tell upperclassmen who are role models to freshman, that they can’t go away to college because it make make the school worse if they leave? you basically said that if a kid is an asset to his current lousy school, that’s a reason why he should
be forced to stay there instead of going someplace better.

my state senator and i just spoke about that video. Assistant principal at a public school
on tape saying that he won’t hire catholic applicants for teaching jobs ( nothing illegal about that!) , and very specifically says that the curriculum is designed to ensure that students eventually become democrats.

But there’s no liberal bias in education.

He’ll probably get promoted.

exactly like this jerk. no one who works in any public school would be surprised. They’ll sacrifice this guy, act like the problem is solved ( even though he said he has a staff of teachers indoctrinating kids) and replace him with someone who thinks exactly the same way but smart enough not to get caught.

This is exactly why my three are in catholic school, this is absolutely everywhere.

i hope every catholic who has ever applied for a job there sues for millions.
