Makes you wonder if they did a background check at all.

Oh, they did. And the woman (it's always a woman)
in HR was so terrified and intimidated by the thought she would be considered "intolerant" or "-ist" she just passed this freak's application right on through.

I doubt they did much of a background check, honestly. The pay is shite, they've struggled hiring, and they've been struggling with funding since before Covid. It took a nationwide fundraising campaign in early 2021 just to keep it afloat. The problems that led to that mess haven't just gone away. They're probably at the point where they hire what they can get.

ETA: Put it this way, in mid to late 2019, I knew a guy who applied for a custodial management position. It wasn't a janitor's job, he would have been over scheduling, ordering, planning breakdown and cleaning of displays, and a list of other shite. The pay was $20/hour for a job that was mainly second shift. Imagine what they pay the people doing the actual work. He was offered the job and declined.
