NEW YORK – A-list movie celebrity Matt Damon is known for lecturing the public about the dire need to save public schools, and he’s often among the first to champion education issues promoted by teachers unions.

And recent revelations about Damon’s decision to relocate from Los Angeles to New York is once again exposing why he deserves to be ignored.

The “Bourne Supremacy” star, whose mother is an educator at Lesley University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, has spoken out against education reforms for years, supporting tenure for unionized teachers and denouncing standardized tests used to hold them accountable.

At a union-organized “Save Our Schools” rally in Washington, D.C. in 2011, Damon extolled the virtues of public school teachers who shaped his life, and alleged accountability measures used by officials to gauge teacher effectiveness are killing student creativity.

“This has been a horrible decade for teachers,” Damon said at the 2011 rally, according to The Washington Post. “I can’t imagine how demoralized you must feel. But I came here today to deliver an important message to you: As I get older, I appreciate more and more the teachers that I had growing up. And I’m not alone. There are millions of people just like me.”

And while Damon “appreciates” public school teachers, and continues to promote the union perspective on education through personal appearances, he obviously doesn’t trust public schools with his own kids. In 2013, Breitbart pointed out that Damon opted to enroll his children in private schools when he moved to Los Angeles.

Damon told The Guardian at the time that his “major moral dilemma” with the city’s public schools is that they are not “progressive” enough.

Three years later, it seems Damon’s hypocrisy is again on full display.

Damon and his wife Luciana Barroso attempted to enroll their children – Isabella, 10, Gia, 7, and Sella, 5 – in the swanky Brooklyn private school known as St. Ann’s, but school officials refused to make room for the Hollywood hotshot, according to the New York Post.

The news site reports:

Insiders tell Page Six that the Brooklyn Heights school — which boasts alumni including Lena Dunham, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jemima Kirke and Zac Posen — has told Damon that its classes for next year are fully booked. …

“They had a conversation with the school, but St. Ann’s just won’t bend the rules,” said an insider. “They don’t care [who the parents of its students are]. A lot of schools will bend the rules very happily; they’ll bring celebrities’ kids in midway through the year or do whatever they want. St. Ann’s just isn’t doing it.”

The ultra-exclusive Brooklyn Heights school charges more for tuition than many public school teachers earn in a year – between $36,080 and $42,555 depending on the grade level – and serves students from pre-K through high school, the Post reports.
