First off, I want to apologize for not posting for awhile. I have been insanely busy, and haven't had much of a chance to keep up with things going on. Things are happening so fast, that if you don't stay caught up, you'll get lost. Every day, it seems, there is something new coming out. Sometimes it just makes your head spin.
While most of the media is focusing on health care, H1N1, or (for awhile) the 2016 Olympics, things are being discovered about our Assistant Deputy Secretary of the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools. (What a title, right?) It has been known for awhile now, to those who pay attention, that Jennings is very pro-gay rights. Which, that is his decision. He's liberal, so it doesn't surprise me in the slightest. What bothers me is his support for "man-boy" sexual activities. Even on his Wikipedia page it talks about how in one of his books he wrote about a student he counseled that had sexual activity with an adult male. The boy says he was 16 at the time, which apparently is the age of consent in Massachusetts. Frankly, I don't care in the slightest what the age of consent is. The fact that all he really told the kid was, "I hope you wore a condom", is so far beyond wrong.
Oh, but it doesn't stop there. Jennings wrote the forward for a book called Queering Elementary Education. I haven't honestly read his forward, or the book, but if you write a forward for a book, you obviously are relating yourself to, and most likely supporting the concept/goal of the book. Who out there thinks that someone wanting to "queer" elementary education is the right man for the job of the "Safe School Czar"? I don't want schools teaching my child that it's okay to be homosexual, or that it's natural. Anyone that is homosexual has made a choice to be so. Everyone. You're not born with a homosexual gene, or some kind of chemical imbalance that makes you homosexual. Just like you have the choice to have sex before marriage, you also choose who you have sex with. Individuals that have sex outside of marriage don't have genes that make them have sex. They choose it, and I don't want my children being taught by schools that it's a natural, or acceptable choice. That is not the place of the school system, it's for the parents to be able to teach their morals and values.
What ever happened to math, science, and history?
Where does President Obama find these people?

Is your wife going to homeschool your daughter? What do you think about homeschooling?
ReplyDeleteS.M.
Probably not. I don't have really anything against homeschooling, except the lack of social interaction. If you keep your child active with other children, I think it's fine. You have the right to teach your child whatever you wish. Do I agree with what some people teach their kids? No. But it's still their right as parents.
ReplyDeletei am pro-gay rights too!!!!
ReplyDeleteis this ok!!
I never said it wasn't okay that he was pro-gay rights, I just don't think a man who has background like his should be anywhere near making decisions regarding our childrens' education. If all you read is that the guy is pro-gay rights, you need to reread the rest.
ReplyDeleteman, am i glad that i'm not a gay man with a high public profile!!
ReplyDeletei'm glad i'm content to just not worry about stuff like this and hope that people leave me alone until the day i die :\
