Well I feel much better now that we have a Safe Schools Czar! His actual title is the President's Director of the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools! I wonder how large his business card is?
Anyway, the thing is that once again the vetting process is obviously non existent in the Obama White House. The alternative view is that the President knows about this man's background and that can't possibly be true! Can it?
You see Kevin Jennings (pictured here as a link from FoxNews.com) has advocated promoting homosexuality in schools, written about his past drug abuse, expressed his contempt for religion and detailed an incident in which he did not report an underage student who told him he was having sex with older men.
Makes you feel all warm, snuggly and safe doesn't it?
Oh and PLEASE don't suggest that I am homophobic - if you knew me then you'd know how truly ridiculous that position would be. I just don't think we should be promoting any sexuality in our schools; I don't think we need anyone in school who has contempt for religion and I certainly don't think we need an ex-teacher who couldn't bring himself to helping an underage student get out of the grips of older men who he was illegally having sex with.
There is no doubt that Jennings has done much to make schools safer for homosexual kids and frankly I have no problem with that - I just don't think it qualifies him for this job.
Just two years ago he made multiple references to his personal drug abuse in his autobiography, "Mama's Boy, Preacher's Son: A Memoir", but made no comment on his regrets for those actions.
"I got stoned more often and went out to the beach at Bellows, overlooking Honolulu Harbor and the lights of the city, to drink with my buddies on Friday and Saturday nights, spending hours watching the planes take off and land at the airport, which is actually quite fascinating when you are drunk and stoned," he said in the book while talking about his high school days in Hawaii.
