<quote>BENNETT - A music teacher placed on leave last month after some parents objected to the showing of a video of the opera Faust to elementary school students says she's been called a devil worshipper and a lesbian in this small town 35 miles east of Denver. Some parents reportedly objected to the video because of references to the devil, while others were troubled by a scene in which a man was killed in silhouette and by allusions to suicide.

But Karen Grossaint, a Regis University administrator and Bennett's mayor for nearly two years, isn't so sure. She thinks the stir over teacher Tresa Waggoner and the opera video is just the latest in a never-ending series of disagreements in the community.
"It's just the controversy of the week. When this is gone, they'll find something else," she said, emphasizing she was not speaking for the town board.

Ms. Waggoner, the mother of two children, was further accused of being a lesbian aiming to promote homosexuality. Ms. Wagonner says she was - get ready for this - explaining “trouser roles” in opera. (In Faust , a young man in love with Marguerite is played by a soprano.) Other parents complained that the video deals with abortion; Ms. Waggoner says flatly that they lied.
