Oscar-winning director defends anti-bullying message in films
Director Debra Chasnoff is not surprised by how some parents reacted to her organization's educational films depicting gay and lesbian families.

"We have seen this kind of reaction in other communities at different times, and I think it's because it is relatively new that schools would take the initiative to proactively prevent anti-gay bias," said Chasnoff, president of Groundspark.

The San Francisco-based company created the three films stirring controversy in Vallejo.

Chasnoff won an Academy Award in 1991 for her short documentary "Deadly Deception" about the production of nuclear materials by General Electric.
