New York: school principal admits to promoting progressive indoctrination in classrooms
Jennifer Norris talks about how at her school "there's a large contingent of white kids who are just awful" and "have to leave."
Trinity School, a private school in New York has been in the spotlight ever since it was revealed how its Director of Student Activities admited in a video posted by Project Veritas to pushing progressive ideas in the classroom and using racist slurs against white children.
In the recording, Principal Jennifer Norris is seen talking about how she promotes "a progressive agenda in students" and does not allow "Republican perspectives on campus." National Review had access to an e-mail sent by the head of school to to the school community which made it clear that his administration had not authorized the activities Norris was promoting at the school.
Norris admits to "sneaking in" her "progressive agenda."

Assistant principal Jeremy Boland said he never hires Catholic teachers because they tend to be more conservative and it's "like they've been brainwashed." In addition, one of the most important characteristics that aspiring educators must have in their school is a clear acceptance of transsexuality in minors:
Connecticut law prohibits discriminatory hiring practices, particularly on the basis of race, color, religion, age, sex, and gender expression or identity.
