Media Matters staff has been all over the manufactured scandal haunting Kevin Jennings, the U.S. Department of Educations director of the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schoolsa.k.a the safe schools czar. Jennings, who is gay, has been a target for months, but the very belated discovery of an anecdote in his book One Teacher in 10″in which he was told of a young students affair with an older man, but didnt report ithas burned up in the conservative press.
First, Media Matters confirmed that the student was of legal age when he came to Jennings. Now, the group has a statement that really couldnt be better for Jennings:
"I had no sexual contact with anybody at the time, though I was entirely legally free to do so. I was a sixteen year-old going through something most of us have experienced: adolescence. I find it regrettable that the people who have the compassion and integrity to protect our nations students are themselves in need of protection from homophobic smear attacks. Were it not for Mr. Jennings courage and concern for my well-being at that time in my life, I doubt Id be the proud gay man that I am today."
Sounds to me like the victim is a politically aware gay who is trying to protect another one. I would not believe this is the truth.
Ewwwww.
The “Washington Independent” is itself a spinoff of Media Matters (they were originally located in offices right next to each other), and both are heavily funded by guys like George Soros, Wade Rathke, and their socialist ilk.
Is media matters getting quotes from the former student who has disclosed their name or are these anonymous quotes?
Yep. It always bothers me when anyone uses Media Matters as a source, and the Washington Independent is anything but. Bought and paid for propaganda organ of George Soros. “Agitprop is us”
Only a little fag like Weigel would think this propaganda from the fags at Media Matters protecting Obama’s fag czar would be of any use.
Also: wasn’t it Jennings that said the boy was 15-years-old?
“Media Matters”: Total tools and complete liars.
Nice massive support for NAMBLA and pedophiles from the ever-despicable Media Matters.
Never give them the benefit of the doubt. Any organization that would defend NAMBLA is corrupt to its core.
I love they really think “See see the kid was really SIXTEEN” and “I was praising his non-NAMBLA heroics” are valid defenses to anyone not cruising rest stop toilets themselves.
Ewwwww but possibly true.
But there could be good reasons why he didn't report to authorities what the student told him in confidence that we aren't privy to.
If I were running a school, I wouldn't even let him as a janitor.
Just looking at those pictures of him gives me the creeps.

I don’t think a janitor who hangs out with NAMBLA is a good choice for any educational institution.

That statement helps Jennings????? I guess it depends on your point of view (aka - orientation).
You are right, of course. That was not a good example.
If I remember correctly in many states 16 is the age that one can consider that consensual sex took place w/o it being rape or statutory rape and if the partner is over 18 it is considered to be statutory rape even if there was consent.
But did Kevin teach the lad how to “fist”? (a priority when it comes to teaching confused youth about the “gay culture”).
