Leora Levy, Community Leaders Gather to Condemn Indoctrination, Discrimination in Connecticut School
Greenwich, CT – Today, political outsider and U.S. Senate Candidate Leora Levy was joined by local lawmakers, candidates, concerned community members, educators and parents outside Cos Cob School. She discussed the discrimination and indoctrination occurring in Connecticut public schools. The gathering was prompted by a disturbing video released of a Cos Cob School Assistant Principal talking about discriminatory hiring practices and the indoctrination of elementary school students with far-left ideology.

Levy released the following statement:
“Traveling across Connecticut, everywhere I go, I hear from parents that they are concerned about the indoctrination of their children and the interference of government between parent and child. Now, a new video of a Cos Cob Assistant Principal has been released, showing that he refused to hire educators who are Catholic, older or conservative, and that he championed the indoctrination of our children with Leftist ideology. This is abhorrent and wrong. It is un-American.
“These hateful, discriminatory actions should spur immediate action not only here, but in any schools throughout Connecticut where it may be happening. I call upon the Superintendent, Toni Jones and the Board of Education to immediately commence an investigation to verify if this did in fact occur and also to initiate a review of hiring practices and curriculum. Parents and taxpayers deserve accountability and transparency from the Superintendent, the Board of Education and the Cos Cob School administrators. Our children go to school to learn the essentials: reading, writing, history and math, and most important of all - critical thinking. School is a place where they should be encouraged to think critically, not indoctrinated like robots.
"I grew up in the Jim Crow South and went to public schools while they were being racially integrated. I refuse to sit idly by and watch the disintegration of our public schools on racial, sexual or political lines – we will not go backwards and allow our country to be divided on the backs of our children!
“Dick Blumenthal is complicit in the indoctrination of our children, and growing government interference between parent and child. Connecticut families deserve a champion who will stand up for them, for parental rights, and for our children, who are our future. As your next U.S. Senator – I promise to always fight against this woke ideology, hateful discrimination and for Connecticut families.”
