Does Obama’s “Safe Schools” Czar Condone Statutory Rape?
October 2, 2009 · carl · Print This Article
We have been all over Obama’s Czars.
And we aren’t going to let up.
Earlier this week we reported on the possible racist leanings of “Diversity Czar” Mark Lloyd.
Someone in charge of “diversity” at the FCC who stated:
“We’re in a position where you have to say who is going to step down so that someone else can have power.”
You can draw your own conclusions about that one.
Today we have Kevin Jennings, founder of GLSEN (Gay,Lesbian, Straight Education Network), Obama’s appointment for “Safe Schools” Czar.
A man who not only failed to report to authorities a case of homsexual statutory rape, he actually encouraged the young victim on how to participate!
From an editorial in the Washington Times:
In this one case in which Mr. Jennings had a real chance to protect a young boy from a sexual predator, he not only failed to do what the law required but actually encouraged the relationship.
According to Mr. Jennings’ own description in a new audiotape discovered by Fox News, the 15-year-old boy met the “older man” in a “bus station bathroom” and was taken to the older man’s home that night.
When some details about the case became public, Mr. Jennings threatened to sue another teacher who called his failure to report the statutory rape “unethical.”
Mr. Jennings’ defenders asserted that there was no evidence that he was aware the student had sex with the older man.
However, the new audiotape contradicts this claim.
In 2000, Mr. Jennings gave a talk to the Iowa chapter of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, an advocacy group that promotes homosexuality in schools.
On the tape, Mr. Jennings recollected that he told the student to make sure “to use a condom” when he was with the older man. That he actively encouraged the relationship is reinforced by Mr. Jennings’ own description in his 1994 book, “One Teacher in 10.”
In that account, the teacher boasts how he allayed the student’s concerns about the relationship to such a degree that the 15-year-old “left my office with a smile on his face that I would see every time I saw him on the campus for the next two years, until he graduated.”
Promoting gay rights is one thing.
Failing to take action when a sexual predator takes advantage of a 15 year old boy is an entirely different matter.
However, that is only part of the story of Kevin Jennings.
President Obama appointing Jennings to be Safe Schools Czar may be a way of thanking Jennings for his work on the Obama campaign.
He was the co-chair of fundraising for the Obama campaign in the “lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered” (LGBT) community, as was reported last year on World Net Daily.
It also happens that Jennings has an association of sorts with another of Obama’s old friends.
I have to warn you that if you click on the link at the end of this sentence, some of the content is pretty graphic, but if you can handle it, read about the connection between Kevin Jennings and Obama’s old crony William Ayers.

All of that aside, Mr. Jennings himself has stated that he handled the situation with the 15 year old boy who was being preyed upon, “poorly.”
It is even within the realm of possibility (though it’s not very likely) that President Obama wasn’t aware of Jenning’s encouragement of a sexual relationship between a child and an older man when he appointed Jennings as “Safe Schools” Czar.
However, now that it has come to light, as well as the fact that Jennings should have been charged with a felony for failing to report this atrocity to members of law-enforcement, why hasn’t President Obama demanded Jennings’ resignation?
