'Safe school czar' encouraged child sex with an older man


By THE WASHINGTON TIMES
A teacher was told by a 15-year-old high school sophomore that he was having homosexual sex with an "older man." At the very least, statutory rape occurred. Fox News reported that the teacher violated a state law requiring that he report the abuse. That former teacher, Kevin Jennings, is President Obama's "safe school czar." It's getting hard to keep track of all of this president's problematic appointments. Clearly, the process for vetting White House employees has broken down.
In this one case in which Mr. Jennings had a real chance to protect a young boy from a sexual predator, he not only failed to do what the law required but actually encouraged the relationship.
According to Mr. Jennings' own description in a new audiotape discovered by Fox News, the 15-year-old boy met the "older man" in a "bus station bathroom" and was taken to the older man's home that night. When some details about the case became public, Mr. Jennings threatened to sue another teacher who called his failure to report the statutory rape "unethical." Mr. Jennings' defenders asserted that there was no evidence that he was aware the student had sex with the older man.
However, the new audiotape contradicts this claim. In 2000, Mr. Jennings gave a talk to the Iowa chapter of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, an advocacy group that promotes homosexuality in schools. On the tape, Mr. Jennings recollected that he told the student to make sure "to use a condom" when he was with the older man. That he actively encouraged the relationship is reinforced by Mr. Jennings' own description in his 1994 book, "One Teacher in 10." In that account, the teacher boasts how he allayed the student's concerns about the relationship to such a degree that the 15-year-old "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."
Mr. Jennings' denials about these events reveal a lack of remorse. He has not admitted that he made mistakes in this case, and he now refuses to answer any questions about the scandal. Don't forget, this is a presidential appointee we're talking about. Mr. Obama should make clear what his standards are for public servants serving at the pleasure of the president. Encouraging and covering up man-boy sexual activity are serious offenses. The White House should force Mr. Jennings to come clean.
Mr. Jennings has made extremely radical statements promoting homosexuality in schools and about his utter contempt for religion that render him unsuitable for a prestigious White House appointment. His job in the Obama administration is to ensure student safety, and this scandal directly calls into question his ability to perform that job. Mr. Jennings and Obama administration officials refuse to answer any questions about this newly discovered evidence. A lot of Americans want answers about this guy and how he was approved for a job in the White House.

Do they check into the backgrounds of these people?

Seriously what is wrong with them!?! Are they aware, but simply ignore it?

Kevin Jennings, the homosexual founder of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), to head the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools.


He wants homosexuality to be taught in American schools -- in his book Always My Child, Jennings calls for a “diversity policy that mandates including LGBT [lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender] themes in the curriculum.” But he wants only one side of this controversial issue to be aired, and apparently believes in locking sexually confused kids into a “gay” identity. That’s the implication of his declaration, “Ex-gay messages have no place in our nation’s public schools. A line has been drawn. There is no ‘other side’ when you’re talking about lesbian, gay and bisexual students.”

As the luster of the great one wears off more of his associations will be revealed and they will not be pretty. They have turned a blind eye and deaf ear to any negative publicity about their choices for staff. He wants who he wants period. Want to bet Van Jones is just one step down the ladder from his former position? I hope they keep looking at all of his appointees as most have some radical background to account for. This guy should be out of teaching period, not leading an agency.

How old was the older man?? Because he went to the guys house doesnt mean he is the owner of the house. Could be another kid.

Either way I think its disgusting.

A bit of an update:
Obama's 'Safe Schools' Czar Admits Bad Handling of Teen Sex Case
In a statement, President Obama's "safe schools czar" Kevin Jennings stressed that he thought his office could help keep other new teachers from making the same mistake when dealing with students.

Wednesday, September 30, 2009

President Obama's "safe schools czar" Kevin Jennings said Wednesday he "should have handled [the] situation differently" when didn't report an underage student who told him he was having sex with an older man.

Jennings, in a statement, focused on the fact that the incident took place 21 years ago, when he was a new teacher, and stressed that he thought his office could help keep other new teachers from making the same mistake.

“Twenty one years later I can see how I should have handled this situation differently," his full statement read. "I should have asked for more information and consulted legal or medical authorities. Teachers back then had little training or guidance about this kind of thing. All teachers should have a basic level of preparedness. I would like to see the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools play a bigger role in helping to prepare teachers.”

Jennings was appointed to the position largely because of his longtime record of working to end bullying and discrimination in schools.

But, critics say he's not qualified for the job.

Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council says Jennings' past remarks about the incident call into question the sincerity of his new statement.

"It's not as though, 'oh, this was a youthful mistake I made as a brand-new teacher, but now that I'm an adult I realize that I handled it wrong.' Because he has told this story as recently as last year, in another book, and has not expressed any regret until now. So that indicates to me that this is more out of political necessity than it is about genuine remorse," Sprigg told FOXNews.

Department of Education spokesman Justin Hamilton declined to comment on Jennings' statements about the incident since it took place in 1988.​
