EDITORIAL: Queering our schools (More dangerous ideas from Obama's 'safe schools czar')
Washington Times ^ | October 16, 2009 | Editorial

Posted on 10/16/2009 6:19:21 AM PDT by JohnRLott

Fifty-three Republican congressmen yesterday demanded that President Obama fire his embattled "safe schools czar," Kevin Jennings. Mr. Jennings' bizarre sexual agenda for American grade schools is one reason the president should dump this dangerous radical.

Mr. Jennings wrote the foreword to a 1998 book titled, "Queering Elementary Education." The book he endorsed was a collection of essays by different authors who supported teaching young children about homosexuality. Mr. Jennings' foreword explains why he thinks it is important to start educating children about homosexuality as early as activist-educators can get away with doing so. "Ask any elementary-school teachers you know and - if they're honest - they'll tell you they start hearing [anti-homosexual prejudice] as soon as kindergarten." And "As one third-grader put it plainly when asked by her teacher what 'gay' meant: 'I don't know. It's just a bad thing.' "

As another author in the book notes: . . . .

No school is “safe” with this kind of thinking at large and being promoted at the expense of the “eternal verities” of the REAL world and American history.

Not a refuge from the mean streets, not a refuge from the dysfunctional home, children will only be booted from one abusive situation to another.

The school as an institution to preserve and assure the dissemination of knowledge and social graces is under attack already. Adding this requirement to the curriculum will only further convert schools into indoctrination centers, and not beacons of learning.

“Fifty-three Republican congressmen”

Why is there only fifty three? I can’t remember ever being this pissed about something...if I had a kid in a public school I would make the next school board meeting make a town hall meeting look like a day at the beach...I would tear the roof off of the place...time to wipe THOSE vermin out of public office, too, if they don’t take action...this is totally unacceptable to any society.

Wait a second! The bizarre sexual agenda is precisely why he was hired.

The facts about this miscreant are firmly established. If Ø fails to act responsibly by dumping Jennings, he will show himself to be in agreement and actual collusion with Jennings’ pedophilia sympathies.

I have to quiz my 12 year old daughter on a daily basis to see if her teachers are trying to corrupt her mind. The American people are being attacked on all fronts by the gay liberal agenda. My kids don't need the NEA to teach them about deviant sexual behavior. They should concentrate on English, math, science and history. Maybe their record of success wouldn't be so abysmal if they stuck to teaching those courses instead of trying to teach a political and social agenda.

They’re already propagandizing kids in public schools. Does anyone need any more proof that the left is completely bonkers?

As one third-grader put it plainly when asked by her teacher what 'gay' meant: 'I don't know. It's just a bad thing.' Imagine that. An unindoctrinated third grader with more sense than all members of the left and most RiNO's combined.

RINO AHNULD declared Harvey Milk Day...Unbelievable. It passed in Crazyfornia—but I really don't think other than elites—it is favored by most in CA.

He would get a pass even if he were caught near a grade school with a bag of candy!

Years from now, when the Washington Politburo allows a history book to be published, there will be a chapter on the suicide of a great people, titled “WTF???”

Those of us who are permitted to read this document will greatly regret our surrender to this dictatorship of relativism.

I’m sick of schools being used to acculturate children. Teach literacy, and leave it there.
