Kevin Jennings is Safe School Czar not by some vetting breakdown. He was an official in the Obama Campaign as its Gay-Lesbian-Bisexual fund-raising co-chair. For twenty years until 2008, Jennings succeeded on a massive scale at pro-homosexual propagandizing of school children. His adeptness and accomplishment at semantic deception are extraordinary.
In a 1990 "report" for the Massachusetts Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth, it was Jennings himself who re-coined the very term "safe school" to mean a pro-homosexual school. Just as the word "gay" is forever tainted and can now rarely be used in its original sense without prompting the snickers or confusion of the listener, so the term "safe school" is now a post-op product of Jennings that bears no similarity to its original meaning.

It all seems to spring from Massachusetts.
The New Sodom.
It shows the quality of ‘thinking’ those running our schools use when they even allow a pro-homosexual, or pro-anything indoctrination scheme to be introduced into schools under the guise of an anti-bullying program.
A real anti-bullying program would only say there are NO reasons for one student to bully another, and the program would focus on the bullies and not on some category of those supposedly being bullied more than others (probably a lie). I’d bet just the smaller, more serious student types are bullied more than any openly gay students, because there are far more of those than openly gay students.
Direct anti-bullying programs toward the bullies, and don’t waste the time of every student in the school with some indoctrination program that has little or nothing to do with anti-bullying.
Too many colleges per capita yields a place like the People’s Republic of Taxachusetts
I have a nephew who is now in the “gifted” program but two years ago, while in the general school population, the bullies would get on him about piano lessons, the Mexican kids called him “joto,” things like that.
We had to teach him to defend himself—which every kid should know—but it bugged me a lot that he had to take a ration of shiite on a daily basis from bullies just because he likes reading and learning.
The Washington Times has today an editorial on the creepy Kevin Jennings. Why would President Obama support such a twisted being?
Kinda makes you wonder whether Larry Sinclair knows what he’s talking about.
Man we must smoke the same substances!
Actually, that reminds me of an anecdote I posted here some time ago.
I was in Worcester looking at a college (what else) way back in the day. And back in the day, Worcester wasn't a bad place. A little rough-around-the-edges, no doubt, with maybe a few skeletons in its closets, but it had a really strong, blue collar feel (it was also the first place where, as an energetic working teen, some old timer once said to me, "slow down! you're making us look bad!" (The second place was Chicago). The same guy who said I was "bustin' his bawls" because in my naivete I let it spill to his boss that I'd seen the company truck parked in front of the Red Rooster at 10 am on a Monday. Guess I should have seen the handwriting on the wall).
Anyway, back in the day, in the early early '80s, it seemed a hopeful place.
And I remember distinctly a billboard proclaiming loud and proud: "Every great American city has at least one college. Worcester has ten." Oh, how elite! How erudite this city must be under that tough exterior!
Then I was back in Worcester - just passing through, padding down the old stomping grounds - a coupla years ago. What a miserable dump it has become. Almost -- nay, truly -- beyond words. A tragic and unhappy cesspool.
Also, the birthplace of Abbie Hoffman.
Appropriate, don’t you think?
When I was said working teen, I worked at an industrial chemical recycling firm. I really dug it. But the chemist was busted for making and selling something...I don't remember what was "in" at the time.
Again, the naive teen didn't put it together with the things he said in passing to me about his knowing Abbie Hoffman. To me it was just a name.
I use it, at certain times, and I'm also a big fan of the color pink. I'm happy for someone to challenge my taste.
Schools could eliminate most all bullying if they wanted, but when they use anti-bullying efforts as propaganda for some alleged victim group, they dilute the entire effort. There are no reasons why any student should be bullied, and there is no reason to waste time discussing all the different groups that might or might not even exist in every school.
And I'd bet that the more studious, smaller, non-jock students put up with far more bullying than any other group, and they'd be a fairly large group.
Because he agrees with his goals. The goal of the left is to force homosexuality on kids. Going back to the Communist goals for the nation in 1963, normalizing homosexuality was one of the objectives.
