Boland You re teaching ░░░░░░░░ children how to think ░░░░░░░░ s it It doesn ░░░░░░░░ matter what they think ░░░░░░░░ If they think about ░░░░░░░░ in a logical progressive ░░░░░░░░ that becomes their habit ░░░░░░░░ Journalist So you kind ░░░░░░░░ like gear them to ░░░░░░░░ in a more liberal ░░░░░░░░ Boland Mm hmm Believe ░░░░░░░░ or not the open ░░░░░░░░ more progressive teachers are ░░░░░░░░ more savvy about delivering ░░░░░░░░ Democratic message without really ░░░░░░░░ having to mention politics ░░░░░░░░ Remember that teacher I ░░░░░░░░ talking about before The ░░░░░░░░ year old I ll ░░░░░░░░ change that teacher Veritas ░░░░░░░░ You re what Boland ░░░░░░░░ ll never be able ░░░░░░░░ change that teacher Veritas ░░░░░░░░ Which one Boland The ░░░░░░░░ one who is stuck ░░░░░░░░ her ways I ll ░░░░░░░░ be able to fire ░░░░░░░░ and I ll never ░░░░░░░░ able to change her ░░░░░░░░ I make an impact ░░░░░░░░ the next teacher I ░░░░░░░░ So my instinct for ░░░░░░░░ I ve hired maybe ░░░░░░░░ or five people They ░░░░░░░░ pretty good Veritas Journalist ░░░░░░░░ Boland So that s ░░░░░░░░ I make my impact ░░░░░░░░ So it s subtle ░░░░░░░░ teachers I hire will ░░░░░░░░ say Oh this is ░░░░░░░░ liberal or a Democratic ░░░░░░░░ of doing this They ░░░░░░░░ just make that the ░░░░░░░░ And this is how ░░░░░░░░ handle things it s ░░░░░░░░ Veritas Journalist And that ░░░░░░░░ how you get away ░░░░░░░░ it Boland That s ░░░░░░░░ you get away with ░░░░░░░░ Veritas Journalist And how ░░░░░░░░ you make sure the ░░░░░░░░ don t find out ░░░░░░░░ They can find out ░░░░░░░░ long as you never ░░░░░░░░ the politics of it ░░░░░░░░ Journalist Okay so someone ░░░░░░░░ with the parent then ░░░░░░░░ Boland You let them ░░░░░░░░ and then you move ░░░░░░░░ to the next question ░░░░░░░░ Journalist But then eventually ░░░░░░░░ is the outcome of ░░░░░░░░ Boland They don t ░░░░░░░░ the job Boland So ░░░░░░░░ you have someone teacher ░░░░░░░░ is hardcore religious or ░░░░░░░░ conservative they will probably ░░░░░░░░ something detrimental to the ░░░░░░░░ Well I don t ░░░░░░░░ kids have enough knowledge ░░░░░░░░ make that decision gender ░░░░░░░░ at this age you ░░░░░░░░ out You re done ░░░░░░░░ I m not a ░░░░░░░░ expert on religion but ░░░░░░░░ in this area of ░░░░░░░░ are probably the most ░░░░░░░░ But if they re ░░░░░░░░ conservative Veritas Journalist Oh ░░░░░░░░ then what do you ░░░░░░░░ with the Catholics If ░░░░░░░░ find out someone is ░░░░░░░░ then what Boland You ░░░░░░░░ t hire them Veritas ░░░░░░░░ So would you ever ░░░░░░░░ a Catholic then Boland ░░░░░░░░ I don t want ░░░░░░░░ Because if someone is ░░░░░░░░ hardcore Catholic it s ░░░░░░░░ they re brainwashed You ░░░░░░░░ never change their mindset ░░░░░░░░ when you ask them ░░░░░░░░ consider something new like ░░░░░░░░ new opportunity or you ░░░░░░░░ to think about this ░░░░░░░░ they re stuck just ░░░░░░░░
