Outed Ex-Public Bater Corey DeAngelis Issues Half-hearted 'Mea Culpa,' but Still Loses Ed Think Tank Job

Late last month, the website Current Revolt reported that conservative education advocate Corey DeAngelis had an adult male film past. He was considered a leading authority on school choice and critic of public education (and its woke values). EDGE reported at the time that DeAngelis started the Education Freedom Institute, a think tank to promote and protect school choice; he is also the National Director of Research at American Federation for Children, and an adjunct scholar at Cato Institute in Washington, D.C., and was a senior fellow at the Reason Foundation, the Hoover Institution, and Betsy DeVos's American Federation for Children.

What did not turn up on his LinkUp profile was that he appeared as a "hot otter" under the name of Seth Rose in a number of scenes for Gay Hoopla, including one in which he wins a jerk-off challenge by ejaculating first. Str8UpGayPorn.com reported: "Rose can be seen joyously laughing (and cumming) in the below image on the far left as his three co-stars continue to masturbate while watching him ejaculate. Congratulations!"

When the news broke, the Betsy DeVos-backed American Federation for Children, where DeAngelis has been a senior fellow pushing school choice bills since 2021, quickly erased him from its website, reported the website The 74. "We have placed the employee on leave as we investigate this matter further," a spokeswoman for the pro-school choice group said.

This week, the website Reason wrote a stinging essay about the controversy and dropped that DeAngelis has been fired from the AFC. "Corey is no longer at AFC," a spokesperson for the group told Reason in an email. "We wish him well in his next endeavors, and we remain focused on our mission to expand educational opportunity for families, particularly lower-income families, across the country."

The website is published by the Reason Foundation, which still retains DeAngelis as a senior fellow and made no changes to his profile on their website; nor did the libertarian think tank The Cato Institute. Meanwhile, the Hoover Institution, a Stanford University think tank where DeAngelis has been a visiting fellow for the past year, no longer lists him as an expert, but retains his articles on the site.

Earlier this year, DeAngelis received an endorsement from Donald Trump for is latest book, "The Parent Revolution," that read: "Corey DeAngelis is a FIGHTER for parental rights. His new book, 'The Parent Revolution,' is a great guide to help Moms and Dads take back control form the RADICAL MARXISTS ruining our schools." This led StraightUpGayPorn.com to observe that in just ten years DeAngelis he has gone from masturbating otter to education firebrand. "It's been a busy decade for DeAngelis."

In promoting his book on Fox News earlier this year, DeAngelis criticized the college protests of Israeli's invasion of Gaza, claiming their roots are in our failed public education system that focuses more on the LGBT than the ABCs. "It's the way for the left to control other people's children." You can see the clip at this NSFW link, which features his Fox News appearance as well as his jerk-off win, which he capped with the line, "That's right, bitches!"

DeAngelis is a prolific tweeter on X, where he gay-baited with jingoistic phrases and attacked drag shows and Pride festivals.

Following last month's news, DeAngelis was uncharacteristically silent on Twitter for a short while, but he returned on September 30 with a half-hearted "mea culpa" on X where he claimed he was a "victim."

"As an activist for parental rights and school choice, my passion is personal. Just like everyone else, I have made mistakes throughout my life, learned from those mistakes, used that as an opportunity to grow and tried to channel that experience into something positive. I was a victim of poor decisions and poor influences. I have turned that experience into the fuel that fires me to save young people from being put in the same position I was put in and to help parents protect their children. I will never stop fighting for what is right."

But one X-reader responded.
