Obama has made some dumb appointments, like Charles Freeman as Chairman of the National Intelligence Council; remember the guy with ties to China who downplayed China’s brutal suppression of dissent and ties to Saudi Arabia who bashed Israel. Or Green Jobs Czar Van Jones the black nationalist, anti-capitalist, and self-declared Communist revolutionary. The list is long including some still serving like a Secretary of the Treasury who knowingly refused to pay taxes. But by far one of the most out of step is Kevin Jennings who is Obama’s “safe school czar.”
Kevin Jennings founded the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) in 1990; he had to take a cut in pay from that organization when Obama appointed him to run the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools in the Education Department. In all fairness he worked in the Obama campaign and was very successful in fundraising co-chair for the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered) community. Now political paybacks are fine, but couldn’t Obama have found a better job for this guy?
According to a December 9th editorial in the Washington Times, Obama’s Risky-sex Czar, Jennings was involved in teaching 13-year-olds strange sex techniques! This at a youth conference at Tuffs University in March 2000. There are evidently tapes of some of the sessions which are nothing but vile smut. Things like oral sex and “fisting” were discussed with these youngsters. Evidently Jennings is also a big supporter of Harry Hay and the North American Man Boy Love Association.
Talk about the role of government. It can be open to wide dispute on many issues. But I doubt the dispute would be wide at all when it comes to teaching children about kinky sex. As the Times editorial states, “Teaching children sexual techniques is simply not appropriate.” Indeed!
I for one (with six grandchildren) don’t want Kevin Jennings anywhere around an educational system, here or elsewhere! Maybe you could find something for Kevin in the prison system, Mr. President. There at least he could do less harm!
Oh, and by the way, you previously said to judge you by your appointments…so far that judgement is that you are either “one brick short of a load” or more than a little out of touch with America. Neither of these makes one feel sanguine for America while you’re at the helm!
