At Iowa's Dunkerton High School, teacher and students said they were surprised when a traveling band, Junkyard Prophet, aired anti-gay, pro-life and other views during what they thought was an anti-bullying assembly, according to the New York Daily News.
Jennifer Littlefield, a parent, told the LaCrosse Tribune, "They told my daughter, the girls, that they were going to have mud on their wedding dresses if they weren't virgins." She also said, "They told these kids that anyone who was gay was going to die at the age of 42."
Besides criticizing homosexuality, the group also condemned transgender individuals and abortion, showing graphic images of fetuses that were reportedly aborted, according to Advocate.com .
Superintendent Jim Stanton said that, overall, the group offered "a very strong anti-violence, anti-drug, anti-alcohol" message.
According to its website, Junkyard Prophet is a Minneapolis-based Christian rap-metal band whose focus are "youth and their future."
Principal Mike Cooper has resigned.
