Watch: Christian Ministry Shows Aborted Fetus Photos To Kids In Iowa School

Calling abortion “infanticide” and saying “musicians glamorize it,” leaders of Bradlee Dean‘s Christian youth ministry You Can Run But You Cannot Hide (YCRBYCH) and their band, Junkyard Prophet, in a three and a half hour public school assembly in Dunkerton, Iowa, last Thursday showed photographs of aborted fetuses to junior high and high school students. The Junkyard Prophet assembly leader claimed he was educating the children and “not being biased, not only showing one side.” Saying, after Roe v. Wade was decided, “You might all not even be here,” he also incorrectly suggested the constitution states abortion is illegal.

Watch: Christian Ministry Preaches Anti-Gay Hate To Iowa Public School Kids

You Can Run But You Cannot Hide, a certified anti-gay hate group, was invited to a small Iowa school last week to deliver their special message against rock music lyrics, abortion, and homosexuality, and they just released a portion of the video they say was recorded Thursday at the local school. Reportedly, the administration was unaware that You Can Run But You Cannot Hide (YCRBYCH) and its Christian rock band “Junkyard Prophet” would deliver homophobic and misogynistic rhetoric, but reportedly many schools have fallen prey to deception from YCRBYCH, and the Dunkerton, Iowa school district is yet another. Sadly, no one stopped the group.

During that same assembly, the YCRBYCH leader falsely claimed “the average age of death of a homosexual man is 42 years old,” and “his actions literally kill him.” He called homosexuality “sexual deviancy,” said, “in 1973 they taught it [homosexuality] was a mental illness,” and attacked popular singers Elton John and Lady Gaga, and told the junior high and high school students that being gay is a choice.

Reports state they also separated the boys from the girls and in separate sessions told the girls “to chant a manta of sorts about remaining pure,” one student said.

The Dunkerton schools superintendent has apologized.

The WCF Courier adds:

The group was supposed to offer an assembly Thursday focused on anti-violence, anti-drug, anti-bullying themes. At least that’s what administrators and teachers said they expected.

“That’s the message we wanted delivered,” Stanton said.

But after dividing the junior and senior high student body into boys and girls — and leading faculty members away in a third direction — the group launched a different agenda, according to witnesses.

“They were really trying to push their religion down our throats,” said Laura Steffen, 18, a senior.

The presentations included images of aborted fetuses and AIDS patients suffering the effects of the disease, according to students. Those who tried to leave, including teachers, were shouted down, mocked and intimidated, according to witnesses.

Steve Phelan, an English teacher, said the leader in his group chastised the faculty for being disrespectful.

“Then he probably spent five or 10 minutes shouting at us about what we should believe,” Phelan said.

Four members of the faculty walked out. Phelan did not.
