Recently the Obama Administration cut funding to Upward Bound, a successful educational program with a proven track record. Upward Bound provides support to participating students in their preparation for college entrance. Upward Bound serves high school students from low-income families and high school students from families in which neither parent holds a bachelor’s degree. 95% of Upward Bound graduates have entered post-secondary education and are four times more likely to earn a college degree than students from similar back-grounds who do not participate in the program. The Obama Administration will cut funding for this successful educational program.
Radical Safe Schools Czar Kevin Jennings will get a fat raise in funding this year.
At the same time, despite the runaway federal spending and record budget deficits, Barack Obama is including $410 million in the 2011 budget for his “safe schools” czar Kevin Jennings. This is an increase of $45 million over last year’s budget. Obviously, some things are more important than others. These funds ought to buy a whole mess of fisting kits, leather bar guides and child porn books. And, the money will come in handy for the sexual indoctrination of teens and pre-teens.
Citizen Link Blog reported:
So want does Jennings intend to do with this money?
For starters, he says hes going to make school climate measurement a top priorityand, in fact, hed love for school climate to eventually be made part of the Common Core national standards movement! He plans to begin with a new grant program coming out of this department where well be providing possibly as much as $70 million for investments in school climate projects. (He revealed all this and much more in this months Phi Delta Kappan magazine. Scroll down to the Safe at School title.)
So at this point, you might be wondering, What on earth does school climate really mean? I think its best to take that definition from Kevin Jenningsbased on his record as the longtime founder and leader of GLSEN (Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network).
Under Jennings leadership, GLSEN has provided students with a school climate continuum measurement tool. This tool reveals a lot about Jennings true goals: A positively rated inclusive school, for instance, is defined as one where LGBT themes are fully integrated into curricula across a variety of subject areas and grade levels.
I.e., Jennings and GLSEN want homosexual, bisexual and transgender themes taught in every subject at every grade, all the way down to the kindergarten level, maybe even preschool.
In other words Jennings will be using millions of taxpayer dollars to promote “inclusive schools” where LGBT themes are fully integrated across a variety of subject areas and grade levels. This may appear innocent enough until you take a closer look at the radical GLSEN agenda.
Kevin Jennings, the founder of the GLSEN organization, has a long history of promoting sexual material in classrooms including books that describe sex between first graders and books that promote S&M. The GLSEN group also pushes books that romanticize child rape and books that show men having sex with boy scouts in the background. Jennings’ GLSEN group also organized student-teacher seminars where instructors held fisting lectures. He sounds like just the person who deserves a fat $45 million raise, huh?
Jennings needs to be forcibly removed from that position. This is over the top.
Obama created that position FOR Jennings. A Safe Schools Czar shouldn’t exist in the first place. Safe = pro-gay, anti-judeo/christian. In fact, there shouldn’t be any czars.
Jennings is a vile, evil, perverted man. He has never attempted to conceal anything about his agenda. He’s even bragged about helping to conceal an adult/child homosexual affair. Obama knew all this and put him there to bring about this kind of “change” in the public school system.
My husband is a public school teacher and he would give up his job before he would put our children back in the school system.
Worst. President. Ever. Every single day, a new nightmare.
