The Dean of Students at Francis W. Parker School in Chicago is under fire after a tape was released of him discussing graphic details about introducing sex toys and how to properly penetrate another person with his students.
Joseph Bruno has been Dean of Students at Francis W. Parker for the past four years and has worked at the school for nine years altogether.
The private school costs $40,000 per year. He said the incident occurred in a classroom during the school’s annual Pride Week.
“I had like our LGBTQ plus health center come in. They were passing around buttplugs and dildos to my students. Talking about queer sex, using lube versus using spit,” Bruno told a Project Veritas operative. “Well, they're just like passing around dildos, buttplugs. The kids are just playing with them. They're like, how do you how does this work? How do I do? Like, how does this work? That's a really like cool part of my job.”
Bruno said the school also hired a drag queen.
“We had a drag queen come in and pass out cookies and brownies and do photos,” he said.
“So much freedom. So much money.”
Bruno added he did not run the events by the board of trustees but knew they’d support his efforts.
“They would. It's like, I wouldn't even, like, run it by them. Like, why would I run it by them? They'd be like oh, my God, that's wonderful.”

The expose was released by Project Veritas, which specializes in undercover operations and clandestine film work.
“BREAKING: @fwparker Dean of Students Brags About Bringing in LGBTQ+ Health Center to Teach "Queer Sex" to Minors ‘Passing around dildos and butt plugs...kids are just playing with them...Using lube versus using spit...that's a really like, cool part of my job,’” Project Veritas tweeted.
Former Trump advisor Steve Cortes tweeted about the expose.
“Wow. One of the most elite private schools in Chicago, where perverts openly sexually indoctrinate children. Thank you PV for exposing this depravity,” Cortes said on Twitter.
The Francis W. Parker School, located at 330 W Webster Ave, in Chicago, released a statement after the video’s release.
“We are writing to let you know that one of our employees, while at a conference last week, was targeted by a right-wing fringe group of individuals that seeks to undermine and manipulate Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging work in schools,” Principal Dan Frank said.
“This evening, the group showed up outside the school and attempted to confront and ambush this employee with aggressive questions. A handful of students and family members were present. This incident is very upsetting, and we stand in full support of our employee. We have put additional security measures in place, and we will notify the community should there be any additional activity from this group regarding the school or our employee.”
“We advise members of our community not to engage with any organization that fits this general profile.”
