Bradlee Dean seems straight out of a casting call for aging rockers — the hair cascading down his back, the arms wrapped in tattoos and the passing of years that have filled out his face
He met Mrs. Bachmann in 2006 after his ministry invited her to speak about the federal No Child Left Behind law and “the importance of protecting our next generation” at an organization fund-raiser.
He said he knew that Mrs. Bachmann had been “vocal” in her criticism of the law, which they both considered an encroachment on local education.
She attended the event, delivering an address that lasted more than 40 minutes, and included her view that the separation of church and state was a “myth,” and she praised the ministry for impressing this idea on public school students.
When she was a state senator, she fought, albeit unsuccessfully, for an amendment to the state constitution to prohibit same-sex marriage.
She also referred to homosexuality as “sexual dysfunction,” and has stated that public school students were at risk of being taught that gay and lesbian lifestyles were normal.
Dean, talking on his radio show last month, said that teachers were trying to “queerify” public elementary school students and that youths are under attack “through a radical homosexual agenda.”
Dean said that the broader goal of his ministry was “reformation,” and “going back to what our founding fathers established.”
“It is clear to see America has a desperate need to go back to the old paths of ethics, morality and respect for religion,” he said.
