Re: Admission By Obama's 'Safe Schools' Czar That He Poorly Handled Underage Sex Case

Topics: Political News and commentaries

Yesterday, Fox News and others reported that President Obama's "safe schools czar" Kevin Jennings, under fire from critics who say he's unfit for his job, acknowledged that he "should have handled [the] situation differently" years ago when he was a schoolteacher and didn't report that a 15-year-old boy told him that he was having sex with an older man. Rather than reporting it, Jennings, the founder of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network, told the boy, "I hope you knew to use a condom":

Peter Sprigg of the Family Research Council says Jennings' past remarks about his encounter with the teenage boy call into question the sincerity of his new statement.

"It's not as though, 'Oh, this was a youthful mistake I made as a brand-new teacher, but now that I'm an adult I realize that I handled it wrong.' Because he has told this story as recently as last year, in another book, and has not expressed any regret until now. So that indicates to me that this is more out of political necessity than it is about genuine remorse," Sprigg told FOX News.

Department of Education spokesman Justin Hamilton declined to comment on Jennings' statements about the incident, since it took place in 1988.

But Obama's Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan, said Wednesday he is "honored" to work with Jennings and described him as "uniquely qualified for his job."

Obama's Secretary of Education is "Honored" to work with Jennings and described him as "uniquely qualified for his job"? Are you freakin kidding me? What kind of far-left whackos are now running our government!

That people like Kevin Jennings, Van Jones, John Holdren, Carol Browner, and others of similar questionable background and character - including Arne Duncan, are now made czars or appointed to responsible positions in our government, causes one to question just who is responsible for the vetting procedures of the Obama administration, or rather, does one qualify merely be being a communist, a gay activist, a far-left radical enviro-whacko, or an out-of-the-mainstream supporter of a gay, lesbian and transgender high school, and of terrorists.

Not exactly the "Change" we "Hoped" for, is it America!
