President Obama’s “safe schools czar” is a former schoolteacher who 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. |
Jennings was appointed
to the position largely because of his longtime record of working to end bullying and discrimination in schools. In 1990,
as a teacher in Massachusetts, he founded the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), which now has over 40 chapters
at schools nationwide. He has also published six books on gay rights and education, including one that describes his own experiences
as a closeted gay student. |
At a GLSEN conference in 2000, co-sponsored with the Massachusetts Department
of Education, the group landed in hot water when it was revealed that it had included an educational seminar for kids that
graphically described some unorthodox sex techniques. |
