Anti-Catholic school administrator in CT. on tape saying he'd never hire a Catholic - and he's in charge of hiring.

Outed by Project Veritas - there's a short video below from Veritas after the PR from the Catholic League. The school administrator has been suspended (See the video). Funny how he also wants "progressive" teachers to deliver the Democratic message. MORE AT
