Obama's 'Safe Schools' Czar Admits He Poorly Handled Underage Sex Case
2009-10-02
[Fox News] President Obama's "safe schools czar," under fire from critics who say he's unfit for his job, acknowledged Wednesday that he "should have handled [the] situation differently" years ago when he was a schoolteacher and didn't report that a 15-year-old boy told him that he was having sex with an older man.

Kevin Jennings, the founder of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network, was teaching high school in Concord, Mass., in 1988 when the boy, a sophomore, confessed an involvement with a man he had met in a bus station bathroom in Boston. Jennings has written that he told the boy, "I hope you knew to use a condom."

In a statement issued Wednesday, Jennings said: "Twenty one years later I can see how I should have handled this situation differently. I should have asked for more information and consulted legal or medical authorities."
Google Kevin Jennings and NAMBLA. It's interesting.

#11  It's strange how these Obama folks suddenly seem to grow a conscience once they attain positions of power.

What I find strange is that they achieved power at all, Obviously they had NO bacground check?

#10  No, Unfortunately Rod Strling was never this looney.

#9  I am sick of this Democrat Administration. Every minor screwball nutcase in America has a chance of a job with "whats-his-name", President Alias.

Does anyone else feel we are living in a bad episode of the "Twilight Zone" ?

#8  Remember that Obama said we should judge him by the people with whom he surrounds himself!

#7   ...and closeness to the Treasury. However, the joke is on them, it's empty except for a lot of paper IOUs.

I was shocked to find out Valerie Jarrett's resume includes a stint on the board of the Chicago Fed as well as Mayor Daley's office, besides a connection to Rezko.

#6  Did he actually write Queering Elementary Education, or was that ghostwritten by Billy Ayres?

#5  I'm disgusted, but not surprised. For many of the left-leaning power elite, there's nothing inherently wrong with getting it on with the underage as long as you follow "safe sex" procedures. (See, e.g., Roman Polanski.) Kevin Jennings was just reflecting the values of his milieu.

#4  "He is uniquely qualified for his job and I am honored to have him on our team.”

How can you argue with that logic? After all, he was bullied as a youth for his sexuality and he turned to drugs as a result of those experiences. And besides, all that acceptance of man/boy rape stuff happned over two decades ago. Kinda like someone who cheats on his taxes must have the unique qualifications to become US Secretary of the Treasury.
