Retiring Guy is surprised the Cedar Grove-Belgium school board didn't go the distance on this one

Retired St. Francis Superintendent Carol Topinka became aware of the posting on Tuesday when a friend, applying for the job, brought it to her attention. She immediately emailed Mike Richie with Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates. The Arlington Heights, Illinois-based firm was hired by the district to lead the search. 
“Help me understand how a public school district can legally limit its hiring to people who are Christians?” Topinka wrote in an email obtained by WPR. 
“My mentee is not a Christian and is frankly gobsmacked that a public school district can blatantly and prejudicially flout the law.” 
Richie responded within a half hour. 
“Thanks for your email. That was a comment made during the focus groups and you are correct that should not have been in the report. It will be removed. Thanks,” according to his email.
The question remains:  How did this egregious violation of the 1964 Civil Rights Act get by Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates. in the first place?
