Withdraw Homosexual Activist Appointment from Department of Education

Kevin Jennings, founder of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) has been appointed by Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to be Assistant Deputy Secretary for the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools. GLSEN is the foremost national group promoting policies to force affirmation of homosexuality in schools, beginning in kindergarten. For example, GLSEN once sponsored a conference at Tufts University that was advertised to "youth only ages 14 to 21" where three homosexual activists led a workshop graphically guiding the students on gay sex practices.

Under Jennings direction, GLSEN has sponsored the Day of Silence at schools, has pushed for Gay-Straight Alliance clubs, and taught workshops on How to Promote Queer-Friendly Activism in Your Schools and in Your Lives.

The author of the forward to the disturbing book Queering Elementary, which argues for the teaching of sexual "identity" (what you could easily call "indoctrination," "initiation" or "brainwashing") to the children in the elementary education stage of life, Jennings has spoken publicly telling the religious right to "Drop Dead."

His plan is clear when he said, "I'd like five years from now for most Americans when they hear the word GLSEN to think, "Ooh, that's good for kids." ... Sane people keep the world the same...old way it is now. It's the [crazy] people who think, "No, I can envision a day when straight people say, 'So what if you're promoting homosexuality?' or [when] straight kids say, 'Hey, why don't you and your boyfriend come over before you go to the prom and try your tuxes on at my house?'" ... That is our mission from this day forward."

In a documented case that Jennings now admits to, he once counseled a young boy who had been molested by an older male teacher. The confused student naturally turned to an adult figure for explanations, support, and direction. But when this issue came to Jennings attention, even though the law required his notification of the parents, the school district, and the local law enforcement authorities, Jennings now admits he notified no one. He expresses no regrets of his actions then, and has never indicated if a similar situation to materialize that he would follow any different path.

In his new post, Jennings will be working on programs for "safe schools" nationwide and we can only assume sending grant money to groups like GLSEN that put a homosexual agenda ahead of the rights of parents in the schools.

Tell Secretary of Education Arne Duncan to withdraw Kevin Jennings' appointment.

Dear Secretary Duncan,

We the undersigned ask you to withdraw the appointment of Kevin Jennings as the Assistant Deputy Secretary for the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools. He has demonstrated anti-religious bigotry in public speeches, aggressively promotes the homosexual lifestyle to children as young as in kindergarten and has flagrantly abused the law in refusing to notify the parents of a child who he knew had been molested.

Sincerely,

Your Name
