Kevin Jennings has been appointed as director of the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools under Obama. Here's a bit of his bio:
In 1997, according to a transcript put together by Brian J. Burt, managing editor of the student-run Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy, Jennings said he hoped that promoting homosexuality in schools would be considered fine in the future.
The group Jennings founded has also been accused of promoting homosexuality in schools. At a GLSEN conference in 2000, co-sponsored with the Massachusetts Department of Education, the group landed in hot water when it was revealed that it had included an educational seminar for kids that graphically described some unorthodox sex techniques.
A state official who spoke to teens at the conference said:
"Fisting (forcing one's entire hand into another person's rectum or vagina) often gets a bad rap....[It's] an experience of letting somebody into your body that you want to be that close and intimate with...[and] to put you into an exploratory mode."
That's not the worst of it, I'm afraid. Jennings admits not reporting a child's sexual abuse:
As a teacher, he knew a high school sophomore named Brewster who was "involved" with an "older man":
"Out spilled a story about his involvement with an older man he had met in Boston. I listened, sympathized, and offered advice. He left my office with a smile on his face that I would see every time I saw him on the campus for the next two years, until he graduated."
The account led Diane Lenning, head of the National Education Association's Republican Educators Caucus, to criticize Jennings in 2004 for not alerting school and state authorities about the boy's situation, calling Jennings' failure to do so an "unethical practice."
Jennings threatened to sue Lenning for libel, saying she had no evidence that he knew the student in question was sexually active, or that he failed to report the situation.
But a professor at Grove City College in Pennsylvania, Warren Throckmorton, has produced an audio recording of a speech Jennings gave in 2000 at a GLSEN rally in Iowa, in which Jennings made it clear that he believed the student was sexually active:
"I said, 'What were you doing in Boston on a school night, Brewster?' He got very quiet, and he finally looked at me and said, 'Well I met someone in the bus station bathroom and I went home with him.' High school sophomore, 15 years old' I looked at Brewster and said, 'You know, I hope you knew to use a condom.'" [Audio is available on the professor's Web site.]
The Washington Times reported in 2004 that "state authorities said Mr. Jennings filed no report in 1988." A spokeswoman for the Massachusetts Department for Children and Families, the department to which Jennings -- as a Massachusetts teacher -- would have been legally obliged to report the situation, did not return calls from FOXNews.com.
Jennings is just another radical in a line of radicals found in this administration. Remember, Obama told you, "Judge me by the people who surround me."
I see communists, radicals and racists. Do I know him yet?
There is now a category of women students in our “finer” colleges and universities.... ones who do not want to “waste” their time with “stupid male students”
They are self described as LUGs; Lesbian Until Graduation
Ouch!
(MAJOR SARCASM ALERT!)
We have it on good authority that the Boy Scouts are being pushed by Kevin Jennings to add this new and distinctive badge to the Scout program:
Why isn’t this guy in jail?
Remember, Obama told you, “Judge me by the people who surround me.”
I see communists, radicals and racists. Do I know him yet?
You forgot his favs ———— Gays Lesbians Bi-sexuals, and, wait for it, Transgenders!!!
They even have their own month!
Yay Obie go go go
Look on the bright side.........STD’s will go way down ;-)
Oh, we are PLENTY angry, my FRiend. It’s just that we are on “evil overload” by daily monstrocities. I have come to the conclusion that we must impeach this monster. We cannot survive 3 more years.
Sickening. Another “last straw.”
Obama “knew” him in the biblical sense!
The GOP is blowing it big time. They could have a field day with the czars and their backgrounds if they had the guts to do so.
No kidding. Are they that completely clueless?? Afraid?? What??
