An assistant principal in a Connecticut elementary school was placed on administrative leave after a viral video uncovered that he allegedly used discriminatory hiring practices, according to Greenwich Public Schools.
Project Veritas, a guerilla journalism outlet, spoke with Cos Cob Elementary School Assistant Principal Jeremy Boland about his hiring process for elementary school teachers in newly released video footage.
Boland said in multiple undercover interviews that he does not hire Catholic or conservative educators and attempts to hire candidates exclusively under the age of 30.
Boland dubbed Catholics "Brainwashed." When asked what Boland does when he finds out that a candidate is Catholic, he said, "You don't hire them."
Boland made similar comments about conservative job applicants, stating that he preferred hiring younger candidates as they tend to be more liberal.
The assistant principal said that he designs his interview questions to help understand whether applicants are liberal or conservative.
A spokesman for Greenwich Public Schools told the Daily Caller that Boland has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation.
