There’s more to the ‘progressive’ school activities, including affinity groups for children as young as four.
the school website says: ‘Affinity groups are spaces for students with similar identities to come together in an adult-facilitated space to discuss their experiences and explore their identities… this is a space for children to see themselves and their experiences reflected in their peers.’
Children from preschool and up are welcome to attend the groups, however, white students are not welcome.

The site itself advertises: “SOCA is open to all students in grades JK-5th Grade who self-identify as students of color and who are interested in participating.”
When it comes to white students, or as the site puts it, “students who identify as white,” they say, “SOCA groups are only open to students of color, through direct and intentional programming within the curriculum at elementary and middle schools. , all students have the opportunity to consider their own racial identity and how it influences their greater sense of self.’
They add: “While the development of a white identity is absolutely important to a child’s development, we know that there are a number of factors in the process of developing the racial identity of young children of color that can benefit from direct programming.” in a way that differs from that of whites. students.’
Parents Defending Education president Nicki Neily told Fox News in a statement that the school was “segregating students by race” and was “immoral.”
She said: “Instead of teaching young, innocent children to be nice to everyone, the authority figures they and their parents trust are teaching students to see all human interactions through the lens the color of the skin.” Francis Parker administrators should be ashamed of themselves, and families should make their disgust known so this programming can end.
It comes after Bruno was caught on camera by Project Veritas describing the school’s sex education curriculum.
“During Pride, we do a Pride Week every year, I had our LGBTQ+ Health Center come over. They would pass out butt plugs and dildos to my students, talk about queer sex, use lube instead of spit,” Bruno says.
He also revealed that a drag queen had been invited to the classroom, who took photos with the children and handed out cookies.
The video, shared on the Project Veritas Twitter account, which has one million followers, has been viewed more than 3.5 million times.
During the conversation, Bruno, who has been dean of students for four years according to the video, describes how up-close and personal students get with objects.
‘The kids are just playing with them, looking at them… They’re like, ‘How does this butt plug work? How do we do it? How does this work? That’s a really cool part of my job,” she says.
When the man filming asks if everyone is okay with that and if he’s received any complaints, Bruno simply says no.
And when the Project Veritas reporter goes on to ask whether parents, who pay $40,000 fees to send their children to school, might worry if they find out, he replies: ‘No, it’s queer sex.’
The man also mentions that during Pride Week, the school invited guests, including drag queen Alexis Bevins, to “hang out” with the students.
According to school officials who spoke to DailyMail.com, the video was taken without Bruno’s approval and edited with “malicious intent”.
Bruno says that the students, ages 14 to 18, can get up close to objects like butt plugs and dildos while talking about queer sex, and can ask questions about how things work.
“We had a drag queen come over and pass out cookies and brownies and take pictures,” Bruno says.
The Project Veritas member goes on to say, ‘You have so much freedom, so much leeway, to which Bruno replies, ‘So much freedom. So much money to do things.
When asked if the administrators were okay with that, Bruno stated that he had not told other administrators at the school about the sexual objects being displayed to the students.
“They don’t know,” Bruno says.
Bruno, seen here in his headshot on the school’s website, oversees the students at the top level of the school, which is equivalent to high school.
