Trinity School staffer on leave after admitting she sneaks ‘agenda’ into classroom
NY Post ^ | 9/2/22 | Jesse O'Neil

An administrator at a posh Manhattan private school was placed on paid leave after being filmed talking about “sneaking” her Democratic views and activism into the classroom.

The Trinity School also announced in a Friday letter to students and parents that an investigation will be launched into the comments made by Jennifer “Ginn” Norris, a director of student activities at the Upper East Side fixture.

Norris had said that she tries to “disrupt” the school’s curriculum in a recording published Thursday by Project Veritas, a conservative outlet known for filming undercover videos to expose progressive organizations.

“There’s always groups of teachers who want to do these [activist] things but the administration just wouldn’t let us,” Norris says in the clip, apparently filmed by a man wearing a hidden camera at an outdoor dining shed in the city this spring.

“So, we’ve been just sneaking things in [through] the cracks.”

“I don’t hide how I feel, but I can’t pretend I’m [not] promoting an agenda even though I clearly am with all the stuff I’m doing.”

Tuition at the Upper East Side prep school is $58,495 before lunch, dues and fees, according to its website. Matthew McDermott Norris also said she would not allow Republican speakers at the school and added there was a “huge contingent” of “just horrible” white boys that attend the prep school.

In the school’s letter obtained and shared by Project Veritas, school officials said they found it “deeply disturbing” that Norris was recorded “without her knowledge or permission by someone who misrepresented himself.”

But the school added “the sentiments expressed in the video do not reflect the mission or values” of Trinity.

“The School is retaining outside counsel to conduct an independent investigation. Ms. Norris will be placed on paid leave while this investigation is underway,”

Not exactly new news. I had a high school history teacher in 1953 who stated that FDR was a greater person than Jesus Christ as FDR really did good, good things for the people and Jesus, if he existed, was just another Billy Sunday windbag.

O’Keefe and PV are doing the Lord’s work, but why are they wasting time on a posh school in Manhattan?

Screw the rich libs of NYC. Their parents asked for this

They should focus on exposing public school leftism, for average people who have no choice or no voice.

Maybe they’ll hear from their rich parents, and change their tune

My private school until today, weeds put the liberal teachers and prevents them from teaching. I dont want no fag leftard teaching my nephews and nieces about homo poofterism.

Just like our production co. knows how to spot the closet lefty, they do the same thing too by being subtle in their interview questions and avoid triggering “discrimination” lawsuits.

Because everyone knows what is going on in public schools.

But many people think that private or religious schools are exempt.

They are not.

It is like with medical facilities. If they do not let you see what they are doing, it is not a good thing.

O’Keefe’s veins run with ice-water! Total rock star. He and Trump are alike that way.

She believed she was on a date, which makes it even more satisfying. She is quite unattractive; I’m surprised she hasn’t given up and gone lesbo. Maybe this will be the final straw.

In two weeks when this dies down, this freak will be back on the payroll. Guaranteed. Did you hear what she said? The administration is cool with everything she’s doing.

The Biden Administration and his stasi FBI & DOJ will not tolerate such insolence.

Evil knows no bounds. An old pastor of mine once said if you think that Satan does not accompany you to the chancel for communion you are sadly mistaken. It really made me stop and think.

Yeah, she’d have to say that. She may even believe it. The reality might be they were looking for an excuse. She gave them a confession.

Wouldn’t be surprised. The admin was cool with what she was doing.

We’ll see how the parents react.

Elon Musk has some of the same qualities.

DeSantis as well.

Undercover is the only way to get the truth out of these filthy liberal a-holes.

Why is a paid vacation considered a punishment by the in crowd? While in the blue-collar world you just get fired without benefits.
