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.

No doubt they are probably having trouble hiring like most companies, but I don't believe the part quoted above is accurate.
All fundraising that has been done has been for capital improvements. They did get in a bit of a crunch during covid. They were not eligible for PPP because they are a quasi-government entity and not a non-profit (and also too large by PPP standards). But they have since rebounded and paid back all the bonds they had issued before covid.
I would say they were thriving and in about as good as shape as they have ever been. TBD on how this will impact camps and visits going forward
