Tony Perkins FRC Action Update
Other issues may have taken a backseat to health care this summer but now that the kids are back in school parents have another subject on the brain--education. Earlier this month President Obama turned more than a few heads with his back-to-school telecast and parents are right to be concerned about what the administration will do for an encore.
Most including FRC are hoping that the Presidents future plans wont include Safe Schools czar Kevin Jennings.
More than three months ago we exposed the truth about Jennings a long-time proponent of a radical pro-homosexual agenda in schools. At the time our concerns were met with little more than a yawn from the mainstream media.
But today as more Americans rage on about the shocking comments of green jobs czar Van Jones (who was forced to resign) the spotlight is back on the Presidents special-subject appointees. And in Jenningss case its better late than never. Fortunately more press outlets like FoxNews.com and Lou Dobbs are picking up the drumbeat and the Washington Times ran an editorial today demanding answers about Jenningss appointment.
Of course one of the most shocking pieces of news about Jennings is a story hes told himself (in different ways at different times) about a young student who came to him and confessed that he was having sex with older men in a bus station restroom. Instead of reporting the high-risk behavior to the boys parents school administrators or the police Jenningss only response was I hope you knew to use a condom.
If the President hand-picked Jennings to serve in educational leadership the public has a right to know whether he violated reporting laws and covered up child sexual abuse. At the very least he should know that making schools safe doesnt mean making them safe for homosexual predators.
