Three teachers at a Catholic high school on Staten Island are accusing the school’s top administrators of the “truly sinful conduct” of age and gender discrimination in a lawsuit that also accuses its principal of routinely making vulgar remarks.
The lawsuit accuses the Rev. Michael Reilly, the principal of St. Joseph by the Sea, of unleashing “a constant stream of rude, crude and inappropriate remarks” and using a four-letter word “in almost every sentence in some form.”
The plaintiffs accuse Reilly’s “henchmen,” Vice Principal Robert Richard and Dean of Men Greg Manos, of condoning and mimicking Reilly’s remarks.
In a statement to NBC 4 New York, Archdiocese of New York spokesman Joseph Zwilling said Wednesday that the lawsuit’s allegations are “absurd and strongly denied” by Reilly and his staff.
