Kevin Jennings: Not the right choice for our schools
by bloggera on Feb.28, 2010,under News
Kevin Jennings’, not just any one of President’s Obama’s Czar, but the Czar he has appointed to Education for our schools. Mr. Jennings’ idea of adding homosexuality to the middle schools and high school curriculum because children may be sexually confused is ludicrous. If a 12 year or a 16 year is confused about their sexuality that doesn’t mean they are gay. They are TEENAGERS, and teenagers are supposed to be confused. ...
Mr. Jennings referenced an incident about a confession from a sophomore (15 years old) while teaching at a private school in Massachusetts. The 15 year old boy he calls “Brewster” confessed to Jennings that he encountered older men at a bus station in Boston, and went home with one of them. Jennings’ response was that he hoped the boy was being safe in other words using condoms. He did nothing to ensure the mental and physical safety of the child. Yes, he’s 15; he’s a child. He never reported it to the authorities or to the school. Mr. Jennings is teaching at a private high school; therefore, he’s an educated man. Where is Jennings' common sense? Was his focus on the fact that he considered this a boy 'coming out'—aware of his sexuality, and not so called "confused". Jennings should have taken action immediately to the obvious. This child was being abused and violated by men. The bigger question is to our President who appointed him. How can you overlook this; you have 2 children.
If our children are sexually confused it is our responsibility as parents to speak of the differences. It should never be left up to a teacher or a school. Would you leave it up to the teacher or schools to have an indepth conversation with your children about politics...probably not.
