Christian Rock Band Preaches Hate Of LGBT Community During School Assembly
When Dunkerton High School in Iowa invited a Christian rock band called Junkyard Prophet to perform during a school assembly this past Thursday, they never expected to get a hate filled sermon as part of the deal. But that’s exactly what happened.
According to the Lacrosse Tribune, the message was supposed “to be about bullying and making good choices,” such as being non-violent and against drugs and alcohol. “Instead, junior and senior high students at Dunkerton High School and faculty members said they were assaulted by the group’s extreme opinions on homosexuality and images of aborted fetuses,” along with messages against strong independent women.
After the band performed their music, they separated the boys, girls, and faculty in the building, which should have been an immediate red flag. According to witnesses, the band talked to the boys about the band’s Ten Commandments and talked about musicians that have died of drug overdose. The discussion with the girls was much different. The band told them “to save themselves for their husbands and assume a submissive role in the household. The leader in that effort also forced the young ladies to chant a manta of sorts about remaining pure” and would not allow any of them to leave the room.
One parent, Jennifer Littlefield, told the Tribune about a phone call she received from her daughter after the assembly. “They told my daughter, the girls, that they were going to have mud on their wedding dresses if they weren’t virgins. I couldn’t even understand her, she was crying so hard. They told these kids that anyone who was gay was going to die at the age of 42. It just blows me away that no one stopped this.”

Here are some of their lyrics:
The life you livin', when you sinnin' cuz we tearin it up,
With the word that hot,
From the School of Hard Knocks gonna break the rocks,
We ain't stoppin', the convictions poppin'
Junkyard in the house and the Holy Ghost droppin'."
P.S. the band typically receives $1,500 per performance.

Utterly disgusting, and flat-out encourages bullying. 
I don't trust most bands that refer to themselves in the third person either. 
They'd play bad mid-80s pop hits to a mostly Zeppelin/Floyd/Sabbath/Grateful Dead-loving student body. Me and my friends (the metal/punk/hardcore fans of the bunch) would be shaking our heads, chuckling and cringing at the people just sitting there and not getting into it at all. Then the bands would pull out their anti-drug message . . . to a 50-75% alcohol-and-drug-using student body. 
"Son, you are preaching to the WRONG choir!"
All of them, no exception!
Believe it or not, Canada has produced and exported many of these hate bands. 
Truly Shameful.
Not to mention these guys are bigger egomaniacs than Lebron James - I mean is every song they sing about them?
I think The Big Yin might have something to say about this 
These "school assembly" performances have been around for decades, and many are pretty innocent. Larry Gross ("Junk Food Junkie"
played in our jr. high. In high school, we got a band called "Free Fare", with a minute or so of non-threatening christian messaging, and a stretched-out version of "Jesus is Just Allright".
to that school should be FIRED. Yesterday.
