Attorney General Tong’s Moment Arrives With Greenwich Video. Democrat Possesses New Power to Investigate Civil Rights Violations.

Evidence that Greenwich public schools discriminate against Roman Catholic and older teaching applicants have roiled the state. A Project Veritas video reveals a Greenwich administrator blabbing about how he is able to hire teachers who fit his narrow profile of who can be trusted to inculcate students with his acceptable political message. Catholics need not apply.

Attorney General William Tong lobbied the legislature during his first term for expanded powers to investigate and pursue civil rights violations in Connecticut. This is the Stamford Democrat’s moment as he seeks a second term.

The victims may not know who they are. Tong can exercise his authority to find them through records from the Greenwich school administration.

Greenwich is a privileged and insular world by design. The police department has a reputation for suppressing bad acts rather than acting on them. It may have the least welcoming beaches in the state. And now Catholics and fully formed adults who represent diversity of thought appear to have been the targets of a noxious administrator. Tong ought to be preparing to launch his investigation as this post is published.

The attorney general will render his new power meaningless if he does not use it to confront Greenwich and its vast experience in keeping poisonous secrets.
