Good for Camillo; it’s about as strong a message as he can give at this stage. Now let’s see the follow-up, if any.

The Veritas video just released, and I see no reason to suspect it is not accurate, is shameful and needs a full investigation into not only this administrator, but the damage caused to applicants, past and present. Our kids deserve better. Our schools deserve better. Our town deserves better.

As a former educator, and a former Cos Cob School student who grew up in the shadow of the building, this hits home. To think that Roman Catholic applicants may have applied for teaching positions and not received proper consideration due to their religion seems like something from a bygone era, not 2022. According to this assistant principal, Conservatives, older applicants, and others deemed not progressive were not given an opportunity afforded others.

We are entrusted with the task of educating students, and to encourage critical thinking. Brainwashing and indoctrination have no place in halls of learning, or anywhere else, for that matter.

I have reached out to the Superintendent of Schools and am calling for a complete review of hiring practices. The goal should always be education, not indoctrination.
