Kevin Jennings and "Safe Schools"

Kevin Jennings and "Safe Schools"

How much am I offered for this fine African specimen? All negroes move to the back of the bus! If you’re gay, you’re fired!

Kevin Jennings, America’s “Safe Schools Czar,” officially President Obama’s assistant deputy secretary of the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools, unofficially government deviant, is as out of place safeguarding schools as Sheriff Bull Connor or David Duke would have been on a Civil Rights panel or Adolph Hitler as a guess lecturer in Jewish studies.

Jennings gave a lecture in which he equated slavery and racial segregation to alleged discrimination against homosexuals. Civil Rights pioneers must wonder how many gays have been sold, lynched, and sent to the backs of buses.

Jennings doesn’t wonder at all. He’s convinced that homosexuals are the modern equivalent of slaves and their treatment the contemporary equivalent of what African-Americans endured during slavery and KKK and Jim Crow days. At least that’s what he told Maryland high school students. How any of his lies relate to the mission of his office is questionable.

Jennings has an interesting resume’.

A former Massachusetts teacher and author of One Teacher in Ten, he admitted to counseling a 16 year old boy to wear a condom when engaging in homosexual sex acts with an adult predator. He is the proud founder of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network, GLSEN, which is little involved with heterosexuals but which ”has played an integral role in promoting homosexuality and pushing a pro-homosexual agenda in America’s schools.” He wrote a laudatory foreward for a book, Queering Elementary Education: Advancing the Dialogue About Sexualities and Schooling. He is also an unrepentant alcohol and drug abuser: http://bit.ly/8OpOI8

Jennings was an obvious pick for a gay-friendly president . . .

DADT: Gays, Civil Rights, and Racists

DADT: Gays, Civil Rights, and Racists

As the Senate prepares to consider repeal of the 1993 “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” (DADT) policy and allow homosexuals to serve openly in the armed forces, a senior military official expressed his imperious–and odd–views on the issue.

Lt. Gen. Thomas P. Bostick, the Army’s deputy chief of staff in charge of personnel matters, drew parallels between the civil rights movement and the effort to repeal DADT. He condemned those who favor retention of DADT, those who oppose the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender agenda, as racists who should forthwith be drummed out of the military.

More specifically, Bostick, a black officer, said that, “Unfortunately, we have a minority of service members who are still racists and bigoted and you will never be able to get rid of all of them. But these people opposing this new policy will need to get with the program, and if they can’t, they need to get out. No matter how much training and education of those in opposition, you’re always going to have those that oppose this on moral and religious grounds just like you still have racists today.”

If I understand those statements correctly, anyone who opposes repealing DADT is the equivalent of George Wallace, Bull Connor, and David Duke because they fear the negative impact of repeal on our military and believe repeal would be morally repugnant.

According to the general, if you harbor moral and religious objections, it’s just too damned bad. Just sit down, shut up, and keep your opinions to yourself or get out. The United States Army will brook no opposition.

General Bostick would seem better suited to running a gulag than tending to personnel matters.
