Who is Joseph Bruno ? Mass outrage as Francis W Parker Chicago school dean is exposed by Project Veritas
Dean of Students Joseph Bruno from Francis W. Parker School is being slammed on social media after speaking about bringing LGBT activists to the educational institution to teach children about “queer s*x.” He claimed that d*ldos and b**t plugs were passed around the seminar to the 14 to 18-year-old students. Netizens have since taken to social media to express their concerns.
Project Veritas recently released a new video that exposed Joseph Bruno admitting to organizing this seminar. In the video, Joseph Bruno said:
“So, I’ve been the Dean for four years. During Pride- we do a Pride Week every year- I had our LGBTQ+ Health Center come in. They were passing around b**t plugs and d*ldos to my students, talking about queer s*x, using lube versus using spit.”
The Lewis University graduate also stated that they had a drag queen come in to “pass out cookies and brownies and do photos.”
Joseph Bruno claimed that the kids were passing around the adult toys and saying,
“How does this b**t plug work? How do we do- like, how does this work?”
When Project Veritas asked Bruno if the parents complained about the seminar, he responded, "no, it’s queer s*x.” He went on to say how the private school that charges $40,000 annually had enough money to teach children these lessons.
The reporters also asked him whether the institution’s trustees were okay with the seminar. Joseph Bruno claimed that they were unaware of it being conducted. He added,
“I wouldn’t even like run it by them. Like, why would I run it by them?”
