   Gosh…no, really? He has regrets? Only because he got exposed for not doing the right thing. I love how these elites delude themselves with the idea that they actually care about any other people. They are really too self-absorbed to think about anything other than their own advancement. Note to elites:Watch who you step on to get to the top; they may be the ones who knock you off the ladder.

   I think the office of “Safe School Czar” is ridiculous no matter who heads it up.

   But if i were going to pretend that it was anything other than just a bureaucratic, do-nothing position, I’d pretend that perhaps someone with a law enforcement background would be a far better pick than somebody who only wants to advance an agenda for a very specific group.

    The state is NOT educating or even protecting your kids. They are exposing them to all sorts of danger while they indoctrinate them to become little socialists.

    What further proof do you need? The classroom is NOT what it was like back in the 60s and 70s!

    Michelle, GlESN was a strong influence in the Anaheim Union High School District in the year 2000 and 2001. There was a poster board in every hallway and many classrooms that had emergencies numbers on them- including the GLESN phone number ( they were told to remove them but the teachers didn’t). There was a case of pornagraphy (Homosexual) books in one of the schools (7th and 8th graders)- book found by one of the students- the weak school board wanted to get rid of it but were threatened by the ACLU and they caved ( even after giving a chance at good alternative legal help with Christian leaning) and after a long drawn out fight by ONE brave school board member, Coronado -to get rid of it- the book remained in the Anaheim High School- downtown campus- somewhere in the school library. I know about this because I was there for the fights in the School board. this was in the year 2000 when the National Education Association decided it wanted to promote (but if failed to pass) the K thru 12 Teaching “Homosexual is good” agenda…I was there and saw the books and was protesting that too with Focus on the Family…the weak and sorry school board (with the one exception Coronado) didn’t do anything…..Now Anaheim and Garden Grove (headquarters for GLESN and the Orange County Leather Co.-a s&m group) is spread its evil and is in the White House.

    Have we no shame. Pray for America.

    If this were solely about an error in judgment many years ago – not a crime as in Polanski’s case (unless laws about teachers reporting such things were in effect back then; any legal experts, please chime in on that point) – it would be easier to accept Jennings’s expression of regret. But reviewing all the facts related to that purported lapse in judgment makes it very difficult, if not impossible, to take him at his word.

    Taken separately, the past experimentation with drugs might also be seen in the light he tries to paint it, if he truly recognizes it as a past failing; the ability to learn from one’s mistakes and use that knowledge to help prevent others from falling prey to the same mistakes isn’t a bad thing.

    But looking at the whole, I find little that would make me commend this man as a ‘protector’ of America’s schoolchildren.

    My kid has never spent 1 minute in a public school. Private schools are not cheap but some are not as costly as you might imagine. It has cost us quite a bit, but the results are worth every penny.

    No one should subject their small children to the nightmare that is public school. The sexualization and language that they are subjected to daily robs these kids of their childhood. Then there is the violence.

    The results speak for themselves.

    Beyond the failure to report a child predator, wasn’t Jennings’ relationship with this boy just too creepy? According to Jennings himself, the boy would regularly tell him of his sexual “adventures” with older men he apparently met in bathrooms. If this happened between a 15-year-old girl and a straight adult man, liberals would be screaming for blood. Sorry, but I cannot shake the inference that Jennings sat there and listened to this kid’s sexual escapades with prurient interest.

    And let’s also keep in mind that this happened in 1987, not the late 60s or early 70s during the “sexual revolution” when according to Whoopie and other liberal half-wits it was apparently OK for 40-something men to drug and anal rape 13-year-old girls. By 1987, the movement to start educating kids in school about drugs, sex, drunk driving, etc. was already in full swing. It is not believeable that Jennings simply had no idea what to do when this kid came to him repeatedly with sex stories that at least potentially involved a child predator.

    Let me get this straight (no pun intended, but I’ll take it )

    Kevin Jennings is Obama’s pick for Safe Schools Czar. Fact.
    At some point in his career, Mr. Jennings was an admittedly gay teacher. Fact.
    During his time as a teacher, he was made aware of an underage student having homosexual sexual relations with an adult. Fact.
    He did nothing to intervene personally or through notification of any type of authority, legal or otherwise. Fact.
    Lays his inaction at his own lack of training and guidance. Fact.

    A homosexual teacher doesn’t turn in a homosexual predator, and now wants us to “understand”? Oh, I totally understand. You, sir, are one more of what is fast becoming quite the long line of scum, bums, thieves, sycophants, suck-ups, liars and bottom-feeding criminals that is surrounding the current POTUS.

    To call this shameful doesn’t come close to doing it justice.

    More proof of youth indoctrination into sexual deviance. THIS is what the world is headed toward if we don’t stand publically against any sort of tolerance for homosexual acceptance. They want acceptance to lessen their guilt and they want to teach kids young because they have to keep the idea fresh. Conservatives, if you truly are, stand against this evil and demand to make this deviance an abberation again instead of accepting it!

    You know, with Columbus Day right around the corner, this story is a teachable moment. Some people don’t want to celebrate the holiday because, by today’s standards, Columbus did some things he would regret if he were still with us today. Poor Mr. Jennings finds himself in that same situation. He’s being judged today for something that happened during the last millennium. I know some of you here must remember 1988. Who knew then that raping a 15 year old boy was wrong??? (sarc off)

    Sorry for that…it’s just when I read he said “Teachers back then had little training or guidance about this kind of thing.” I thought my head was going to explode.

    Columbus was a man of his time and his actions are understandable in that context. Jennings can’t make that same claim

    Glad you mentioned Whoopie…well, not really, but it reminded me of something I wanted to share. In addition to making excuses for Polanski, she made excuses for Michael Vick torturing dogs. She said we needed to understand that he grew up in the south and “that’s part of their culture” or “they used to do that down there” (or words to that effect). So to her, it’s okay to do something if you were exposed to it growing up. That’s funny because “they” used to do a lot of things in the south. Would she use that same logic to make excuses if a white quarterback from the south had burned a cross on someone’s yard?
