Ditto on what wideminded said. This guy, Jennings, should be nowhere near schools with his agenda and so many of the things he has said and done.
But, in the statement quoted in the article, he’s talking about what he thinks “the culture” teaches boys, not what he thinks boys should do. Unless there’s more to the statement that sheds a different light...?
And this is just one more reason why we should not have these loons in leadership positions. If a homosexual kills someone, that is justified but if someone kills a homosexual, that should not only be prosecuted, it should also have a special law over and above, called a “hate crime”, which makes the sentence harsher. Clearly, these liberals do not believe in “equal justice under the law”. Instead, they want “special justice under the law” just for them.
JoMa
They do all the time. It’s a word of endearment.
So he’s saying that the evil macho natural family culture says it’s okay for homosexuals to kill people who call them faggots (they call each other faggot all the time, I used to live in SF). He clearly wants to change culture, family, values, morality and everything tangentally related into a NAMBLA friendly hell.
Why would we have a “safe schools” Czar? Isn’t that a job for the local and state governments?
In America, teaching your boys to be effeminate is what’s expected, but teaching your boys to be manly is intolerance and hate.
Uh...didn’t Congress just legislate to extend hate crimes to crimes against homosexuals? Seems like an extreme lack of logic and disconnect here. Which is always the case when dealing with liberals. They spew so much crap they can’t keep their lines of BS straight.
In this case, or rather, under Zero’s Presidency, it’s government-sponsored homosexual agenda indoctrination. (you asked)
Yes, he wants to destroy the culture, family, values, morality and everything. But, he's not advocating in this statement that "gay" men kill people who call them a name. Rather, he seems to be saying that straight boys wouldn't be so insulted by the word and wouldn't use it as an insult, if only they were raised to accept what they deem to be effeminate behavior in other boys.
As you and I know, many boys use this word against boys who aren't homosexual. Boys are called that name and beaten up, just because they're nice boys, by bullies.
But, of course, we can see that Jennings is twisting bullying here to suit his agenda. He's saying: "If only young boys were taught to accept homosexuality, we wouldn't have so much bullying in school."
See the spin there?
But, he's not advocating violence in that particular statement. IMHO, of all the outrageous things this guy has said and done, this isn't a statement we should complain about. If this one passes around, and people misread it, it's going to make us look bad because we're misreading it. JMHO.
I’m at an awkward age.
I’m too old to fight, too young to stop caring, and too cynical (or knowledgeable) to believe that my vote will change anything.
Yes, I see your point, but it seems as though he’s also saying that according to the evil macho culture, it would be okay for (anyone) to kill someone who calls him a faggot.
Whatever he meant specifically, we know his agenda. And IMO this statement is so convoluted who knows what he actually was trying to say. When crazy people blather and foam at the mouth, their meanings are not always clear and consistent.
And as far as “us” - I guess you mean conservatives - looking bad, I could give a rip. Those who are right minded won’t worry, and those who hate conservtive values and principles will always hate such values and principles, and anyone who holds them, no matter what we say or do.
Until we all become cross dressers, they will hate us.
The fact that Zero hasn’t fired this vermin yet (and no doubt knew and agreed with his perverted views before he was hired) shows what a feces living cockroach he really is!
I agree. He seems to be criticizing the "evil macho culture."
The evil repressive patriarchal macho culture where men are supposed to be men and women are supposed to be women. The cause of all ills.
Right. :-)
Growing up (eons and eons ago - or as my children put it, around the time of the dinosaurs), I remember boys being shoved around and beaten up and called that word. I felt bad for them. They mostly were nice boys. Some of the same bullies pushing them around would pick on me (a girl) sometimes, too. So, to me, a swagger and tough talk didn’t make a boy a boy, or a man a man. What really made a boy a boy was the way he treated girls. If he treated them badly, he was just a jerk.
A few of the bigger boys who never had effeminate mannerisms, and who were popular with the girls, turned out to be three-dollar bills (an old term). ;-) Meanwhile, most of the boys called “sissies” or that other word grew up to marry women, etc. So, it always seemed to me that mannerisms (effeminate or macho) had nothing to do with “homosexuality”.
Ironically, when a boy is called “gay”, the activists assume the boy really is “gay” - even the little boys who recently committed suicide - when in reality, they’re usually just nice boys who were picked on.
I agree. Kids can be “mean” and now with the slide of family life and so much else, many kids are just feral. And kids are exposed to topics like homosexuality which they really do NOT need to know about until they are older.
Simple precepts like courtesy and respect are missing.
