Personally I don't give a rat's rearend with whom Mr. Jennings chooses to share his bed or life, I hope he is happy. However, I have serious doubts of the abilities of someone who actually condones crimes against children to create policies to protect those same children.
That 15 year old was being criminally abused by an adult, the sex of the adult makes no difference, it was criminal abuse plain and simple. That he would support such an organization as NAMBLA, which promotes such criminal sexual abuse of children is absolutely repulsive.
Forget the issue of homosexuality here, because it really is irrelevant..............this dude can not come up with programs that will protect our children when he himself supports, publicly no less, crimes against children. Crimes against children of the most vile sort.

Update on Mr. Jennings from Washington Examiner: Oct. 1, 2009:
Obama appointee lauded NAMBLA figure
By: Mark Tapscott
Editorial Page Editor
10/01/09 12:40 PM EDT
Kevin Jennings, President Obama's Assistant Deputy Secretary of the Office of Safe and Drug FreeSchools at the U.S. Department of Education, is in hot water this week for having failed to report that a 15-year-old sophomore student in his school had told him of having sex with an older man.
But failure to report what appeared to be a case of statuatory rape of a child may be the least of Jennings' worries. Lori Roman of Regular Folks United points to statements by Jennings a decade or more ago when he praised Harry Hay of the North American Association for Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), which promotes the legalization of sexual abuse of young boys by older men.
Roman provides d**ning details and links here. She also notes that Jennings wrote the forward "to a book called Queering Elementary Education. And another fellow you may have heard of wrote one of the endorsements on the book jacket—Bill Ayers." Ayers, of course, is the Weather Underground bomber from the 1960s who is just an "acquaintance" of Obama.
Every presidential administration ends up with scandals inspired by controversial appointees, but typically those tend to revolve around financial improprieties, conflicts of interest, or some other form of white-collar misconduct. For Obama, the scandals seem to be develping in a pattern of disclosures revolving around radical left ideology that raises questions about their fitness for any job in government.
And that in turn raises the inevitable question: Is nobody minding the White House personnel store?

Augleo22 - Homosexuals have a right to peacefully go about their practices in this society. Life, liberty, pursuit of happiness...
But, since 90% of disagree with the practice, and the Holy Bible backs us up in its condemnation of the activity, it is best that such stuff stay private, out of public view. And that also means discouraging homosexual behavior in school systems, public and private. And, yes, homosexual tendencies can be controlled to the extent that a person imposes self-discipline.
If that makes me a homophobe, well, then I'm a homophobe, and proud to be one.

These OLD ways of thinking are so tired. Get with it... homosexuality is here and has been for years and isn't going anywhere so deal with it in a way to set a positive example for your children and dont hate people for reasons they can't control. That kind of hatred is a learned behavior. In the grand scheme of things can't we worry about other things that are important...orphaned children, hungry children, abused animals WHATEVER!!! Find something else to spend your energy on!!!
Dear augleo22: If you want people to find something else to talk about why didn't you let this topic stay dormant. It has not been brought to the forefront since June. I think it is because you, as a gay person, like to be in the limelight. You say, "Don't hate people for what they cannot control." Well, I, among others feel that homeosexuality can be controlled. These people are not forced to have sexual encounters with those of the same sex anymore than people of the opposite sex are. Your theory has no substance.

Well, tell me when you plan on starting using some of those thoughtful facts, but you can't start with a few and then tack on BS at the end of it and think you have a decent argument.

"I don't know how old you are, but, your hatred for a segment of society that is different, is really appalling. Why do you go out of your way to find things that pi$$ you off?? You are the problem, not them.
The dept. of education sets what is taught--- not the indiviual schools. Take your complaint up with them."
Thank you for rendering yourself irrelevant by first admitting you know nothing about me and then rendering a decision about me.

"Oh please, there have been gay teachers in schools for generations. I know of a few I had, 30+ years ago. They didn't talk about their sexuality any more than hetero teachers did but we all knew. My mother, in her 60s, said she had a few. She had a man who was just 'different', it wasn't until she was older that she figured out what the difference was. And she had some 'spinster' female teachers who were lesbians. It's nothing new. "
What is new is that now they are going to "educate" even the kindergartners! Even you should be able to see this is a world apart from what your mother experienced; yet you blow right past that.
An inconvenient truth?

Gee -a little "sanity" is refreshing. Thank You.
What has that got to do with anything that is happening now with gays and lesbians. Did they do this 30 plus years ago?

So, I'm right...it is the fact that he is gay, not what he is doing, is what you find nauseating.
That is your belief; it is not mine, nor is it supported by any facts I KNOW people who tried very hard to follow the norm, even to the point of having a family, and the decision to come out.
I've known at least 10 gay people, and not one has ever tried to educate me about anything. I'm not really sure what there is to educate about, really....I get they like their gender, but what else would they want to tell me?
And finally, while I have no problem with the concept (see, I believe there is a difference between pedophilla and homosexuality), he is NOT in charge of your kids. He is in charge of a safety program.
Fred, defend this!
Here is a picture of a lesbian couple. Do they deserve our respect?

"Elementary school teachers in Alameda, Calif., will introduce lesson plans to their educational curriculum beginning next year that address gay and lesbian issues, KCBS News in San Francisco reports.
Kindergarten through grade 5 students throughout the county will be exposed to same-sex educational material aimed at promoting tolerance and inclusiveness. "
As I said education is now all about one's place in society as opposed to the kind of knowledge that helps you to succeed.
Kindergartners should be learning about vowels, numbers, reading and such. Putting any person who is this radical (in thier ways and thoughts) in charge of any minors is indeed nauseating.
And please take note that I did not reference ANY sexual orientation.

"Educating" people is not as benign as it sounds. Is this what's next???

Fred, do you proclaim to be gay on your blog. I don't believe that there is such a thing as a gay or lesbian person. I believe that these people simply do not like to follow the norm. They want to educate people about their lifestyle and I simply do not like the idea of this man being in charge of our school children.

Elementary school teachers in Alameda, Calif., will introduce lesson plans to their educational curriculum beginning next year that address gay and lesbian issues, KCBS News in San Francisco reports.
Kindergarten through grade 5 students throughout the county will be exposed to same-sex educational material aimed at promoting tolerance and inclusiveness.
The curriculum –– which will include lessons to introduce students to “LGBT” (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transsexual) issues –– will be designed to discourage bullying and teasing based on gay and lesbian stereotypes. The plan will be implemented despite objections by parents who complain children are too young to be exposed to the material.
Many parents are condemning the lesson plan as sex education in disguise and are angered that they will not be allowed to exempt their children from the lessons. Opponents decry the curriculum plan as an effort to advance the gay, lesbian and transgendered agenda.
Those opposed to sexual orientation lessons for children are so upset they are threatening to sue the school board, ABC News reports. Promoting gay, lesbian and sexual orientation should be a parents' rights issue, parents say, and is not an appropriate topic for school children.
The Alameda school district's legal counsel, however, recommended the plan because the curriculum does not deal with health or sex education, which are topics that do require opt-out provisions.
“It was the opinion of our legal counsel that this curriculum was not health or sex education curriculum,” school board president Mike McMahon told CNS New.
“If a student responds that one family in the book is made up of a mother, a father, and two children and a cat, you may acknowledge that some families look like this, but ask students for other examples of what a family can look like.”
School Board Member Trish Spencer, who voted against the plan, said she worries that its implementation could lead to the harassment of students who have religious objections to homosexuality. She cited that bullying due to religion is a bigger problem for the district than bullying based on homosexuality.
Also adamantly opposed to the plan is Randy Thomasson, president of the Campaign for Children and Families.
“This will be done whether parents like it or not, and it shows the hostility against parental rights and traditional family values,” Thomasson, told CNS New.
Last month, the California Supreme Court upheld Proposition 8, the voter-approved initiative to make same-sex marriage illegal that passed in November.
The Alameda school board said it will review its decision to implement the curriculum at the end of next year’s school session.

Its all part of the plan. If one steps back a few paces and looks at the whole picture that is "education" in America one will see that "education" is becoming less about knowledge and more about one's PLACE in society.
We used to stake out our place in society via the implementation of the KNOWLEDGE we picked up in school and O.J.T. coupled with hard work, morals and self discipline....and if we desired to have more success we became more educated, worked harder and smarter and climbed the ladder; but that is being eroded into an ersatz "right" whose roots are sewn in the public education system. Problem is, the "right" to be a success wont mean owning a company or living in a huge house at the beach. It will equate to supreme mediocrity.
Take another step back and see ALL DAY K for what it is. A governmental scheme to help single parents abdicate the familial aspect of child rearing for the freedom to work, pay taxes and attempt to gain a few material possesions. These "parents" will never really achieve financial independance because they are the result of years of dumbing down. They will be the new surf class.
The next step back we can see the next generation (the all day k'ers) entering the work force after being indoctrinated and raised and schooled by a Godless, morally corrupt government. Homosexuality and other behaviours will be common place, sexuality has been dumbed down too. There will be no provision to break the mold into which they were cast.
The appointment of this gay activist to be in charge of our children is entirely predictable and without surprise. Yet no one of any substance has stood up to stop or correct the course of events.
When children in 1st grade are being "educated" about the things gay people do, we will be getting what we have earned for our lack of effort.
