NOTE: While I do not wish to run this into the ground, I believe that our nation needs to wake up and see what this administration is trying to do to our public school system. Several more items about Kevin Jennings have come to my attention, so rather than string them out over several days, I will run them all at once. And one more: Recently Rush Limbaugh reported on Kevin Jennings. He included some remarks that Jennings made. RUSH: I meant to play this audio sound bite yesterday. I didn't get it in time. It's nobody's fault. We were just busy. I have it now. This is 2000 in Iowa at the Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network. It's an event there. It's audio of Obama's safe schools czar, Kevin Jennings. This is the guy that a 15-year-old kid approached him, "I'm having a problem. An older man is forcing his way on me with sex and so forth," and Jennings said, "That's fine. Are you using a condom?" and urged the 15-year-old to further the relationship and then said, "Later I saw this kid come back to school and every day had a big smile on his face! I knew I'd done a good thing." That's Obama's safe school czar. So nine years ago Kevin Jennings is at this Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network. He is criticizing schools for promoting heterosexuality. This is from a speech Kevin Jennings gave at this event in Iowa. JENNINGS: I find it amazing this is on the ballot for a couple reasons. First of all, we all know what's REALLY promoted in our schools. Heterosexuality is promoted in our schools. Every time in our schools. Every time kids read Romeo & Juliet or they're urged to go to the prom or whatever it is, kids are aggressively recruited to be heterosexual in this country, and you know what? It doesn't work. The reality is that if schools could affect your sexual orientation there would have been no gay people in the first place. But there's still people out there who believe that myth because, you know what? It's easy to panic people if you make them think that they're after your kids. RUSH: So he's gay, obviously, and heterosexuality is being promoted through vehicles like Romeo & Juliet. We're recruiting. They're recruiting heterosexuals. They're recruiting and promoting heterosexuals in the school, and this guy is now Obama's safe schools czar. [Editor’s note: And the Obama administration thinks this guy is good to promote safety in our schools!] Will it ever end?: Now, on October 21, 2009, Bob Unruh of WorldNetDaily in an item headlined "Obama's safe-schools boss sponsors radical porn: Harvard event honoring AIDS activists credits Jennings for 'gifts and grants,'" reported that the chief of President Obama's Education Department Office of Safe Schools, homosexual activist Kevin Jennings, is being credited for helping sponsor a Harvard University display honoring the work of the radical homosexual organization Act Up. WND reported that a YouTube video revealed Jeff Davis, Jennings' "partner," addressing a banquet and saying of Jennings, "He was a member of Act Up. Act Up! So it's like – you know – here's a big gay activist. BIG gay activist!." The video was pulled down shortly after the WND report appeared. Now the advertising for the Harvard exhibition: "Act Up New York: Activism, Art, and the AIDS Crisis, 1987-1993," credits Kevin Jennings with others including Fred P. Hockberg and Tom Healy, Open Gate and the Barbara Lee Family Foundation for "gifts and grants" used for the project. The display included dozens of "politically-charged posters, stickers, and other visual media that emerged during a pivotal moment of AIDS activism in New York City," according to a website promoting the effort. Among those organizations displaying their work was "Fierce Pussy," which featured a poster of a toddler labeled "Dyke." "Pairing text and image with penetrating anger and searing wit, ACT UP's art collectives targeted specific individuals and institutions at the local and national level, advocated for safer sex and gay and lesbian rights, and galvanized broadband support for the AIDS activism movement," the promotion states. "The exhibit includes horrible anti-Catholic bigotry, child pornography, and various descriptions and depictions of sexual perversion. It also includes posters accusing various public officials of murder during the AIDS crisis of the 1980s and 1990s and a call to terrorize offices of the National Institute of Health," wrote Mass Resistance in its report on the event. A member of the Mass Resistance group attended the event, which runs into December, when it opened just days before. "It was extremely disturbing. This exhibit is a 'celebration' of anger, terrorism, religious bigotry, and sexual deviance. It's considered a serious mainstream event by the elite academic and homosexual communities. In many ways it's a window into what the homosexual movement - including many who teach in colleges and high schools across the country - thinks of children, America, religion, society, and you," the report said. "For any public official to be involved with this and funding it (much less a person in charge of directing the nation's children's 'safety') is beyond offensive. It's every parent's nightmare," the report said. The group also reported that Jennings' book, "One Teacher in Ten," about homosexual teachers, was published by Alyson Books, which describes itself as "the world's oldest and largest publisher of LGBT literature." According to the pro-family organization Americans For Truth About Homosexuality, Jennings already was "under fire for praising his hero, early homosexual activist Harry Hay, despite Hay's longtime, dedicated support of NAMBLA – the North American Man/Boy Love Association." Members of Congress have written to Obama demanding he dismiss Jennings following WND disclosures about his past, including an incident in which he counseled a 15-year-old student to keep quiet about being seduced by an older man. Messages WND has left with Jennings' office never have been returned. (I wonder why?????) Well, enough is enough!: In an item headlined "Time for '''Safe and Drug Free Schools' Czar to resign" on October 6, 2009, Tim Wildmon of the American Family Association made the following suggestion. Kevin Jennings is an open homosexual who is now serving the Department of Education as President Obama's "Safe and Drug Free Schools" czar. Jennings is the founder of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), which pushes so-called "anti-bullying" policies which even GLSEN admits are really about promoting "affirmation" of homosexual behavior in the school system. Jennings is intolerant of the "religious right," 90% of whom enroll their children in public schools, and said in a 2000 speech "I'm trying not to say '[F---] 'em'...I don't care what they think. Drop dead!" He wants homosexual indoctrination of students at all levels, having written the forward to a book entitled Queering Elementary Education, and saying in 2004, "Ex-gay messages have no place in our nation's public schools...There is no ‘other side' when you're talking about lesbian, gay and bisexual students." By his own admission he failed his legal duty to report what he believed to be a case of statutory rape when a young student approached him for counsel after the boy had been preyed on by an older adult in a local bus station bathroom. Jennings' main piece of advice: "I hope you know how to use a condom." He writes in his 2006 memoir without any remorse of frequently getting "drunk and stoned" when he was a teenager. Kevin Jennings is not qualified under any ethical standard to be entrusted with the safety of our nation's public school children. Tim suggested that we contact Secretary of Education Arne Duncan urging him to call for Jennings' resignation and ask our Congressmen to also press Duncan for his resignation. [In addition, Rep. Steve King, R-IA, and 52 other U. S. House of Representative members have also asked for Jennings’s resignation or removal.] But it only gets worse!: In an item headlined: Porn practitioners promoted to children?--Group set up by Obama's safe schools chief recommends 'Gay Pioneers'” on October 27, 2009, WorldNetDaily reported that an organization founded by Kevin Jennings, President Obama's chief of the safe schools office in the Department of Education, has recommended a movie promoting several practitioners of pornography as part of its plans for teaching school children about homosexuality, according to a new report. A report from Mass Resistance, a pro-family organization that has battled homosexual activists, says Jennings' Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network has included in one of its "lesson plans" for school children a recommendation for the film "Gay Pioneers." The lesson plan describes "Gay Pioneers" as "a documentary focused on the first public protests for equal rights for gay and lesbian people, staged at governmental offices and historic landmarks in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. between 1965 and 1969, through archival footage and interviews with the participants who are still living." The report suggests that many parents might be surprised, however, to have their children being given messages of endorsement for the activities of Franklin Kameny, Jack Nichols, Nancy Tucker or Randolfe Wicker. Kameny, for example, is "founder and president of National Consumers Association for the Advancement and Protection of Pornography, Inc.," the report said. "I support NAMBLA's [North American Man-Boy Love Association] right to advocate whatever they wish, including advocacy of changes of law to legalize their preferences," he's quoted saying. The Mass Resistance report quoted Kameny saying, "Bestiality is not my thing … But it seems to be a harmless foible or idiosyncrasy of some people. So, as long as the animal doesn't mind (and the animal rarely does), I don't mind, and I don't see why anyone else should." The report also cited the movie's portrayal of Nichols, who edited the pornographic magazine "Screw." The report includes a sample of his writing: "'Screw' was the world's first publisher of newspaper nude frontals, both male and female. It was also the world's first newspaper to publish nude photos of males making love. I was one of those two males…" Another profile talks about Tucker, who created the "Gay Blade" as well as Wicker, who "wrote a trailblazing article … explaining how best to violate New York state's now-defunct sodomy laws." Mass Resistance' report said, "Imagine teenagers hearing about these sex-obsessed 'gay pioneers' (who are portrayed as heroic 'civil rights' leaders), then doing a Web search as they answer their homework questions. These are the 'civil rights' leaders Kevin Jennings and his organization GLSEN hold up to children as worthy of emulation." Like the Energizer Bunny, it just keeps going and going and going….: Under the headline, “Porn publisher asked Jennings for help--Result was 1st book for chief of office of safe schools,” on November 1, 2009, Bob Unruh of WorldNetDaily reported that apro-family organization is reporting a publisher of "gay erotica" sought out Kevin Jennings, who heads President Obama's office of Safe Schools in the Department of Education, to write a book aimed at encouraging homosexuality in high schools and colleges. The result was Becoming Visible, which opens with, "Why teach gay and lesbian history? … Indeed, as lesbian and gay studies has emerged as a discipline over the last two decades, its dramatic discoveries have shown it to be one of the most exciting fields in contemporary historical scholarship." Researchers at Mass Resistance reported Sasha Alyson of Alyson Publications sought out Jennings to do the book. In Jennings' acknowledgements for the book, he writes, "Writing this part of the book has caused me more anxiety than any other. It simply is not possible to express my gratitude to the many people who have helped make this book possible. ... With apologies to anyone omitted, here we go! The obvious place to begin is with Alyson Publications. First, Sasha Alyson had the vision to conceive of this project, and I had the good luck to be the person he sought out to complete it. I am deeply appreciative of being afforded this opportunity." The Mass Resistance report said, "If you peruse the collection on the Alyson website, it's mostly porn – 'erotica.' What is fascinating is the categories. Now, publishers only print what sells, so this is a good reflection, one might think, of what sells in the 'gay' community. "They have very full collections under 'gay erotica' and 'lesbian erotica,' but only a few offerings under 'relationships' and under 'self-help,' we find this: 'Boy Crazy: Why Monogamy is So Hard for Gay Men and What You Can Do About it.'" The publishing firm, which created "Daddy's Roommate" and "Heather Has Two Mommies," also has promoted "Macho Sluts"; "The Age Taboo," an anthology of arguments for pedophilia; and "Pedophilia: The Radical Case," the report said. "It's outrageous that the same company that markets books that condition children to accept homosexuality also peddles instructions on how pedophiles can have sex with children without getting caught," said Lambda Report editor Peter LaBarbera, now of Americans For Truth. When asked by the Lambda Report about the pedophile references, Alyson responded, "I think it's something that is a legitimate area for exploration," the report said. | ||
