'Safe Schools Czar' Gushes Over NAMBLA-Supporting Pedophile

Recently, I did a post about Kevin Jennings, the Obama administration's 'Safe Schools Czar.' The former teacher and gay activist has shown his true colors over the years by not revealing the fact that a 15-year-old student of his was having sex with older men and by pushing for schools to implement a curriculum that teaches tolerance and acceptance of gays.

Now, according to World Net Daily, it has come to light that Jennings has had nothing but praise for NAMBLA founder Harry Hay who passed away in 2002.

In a 1997 speech, Jennings is quoted as saying, "One of the people that's always inspired me is Harry Hay, who started the first ongoing gay rights groups in America. In 1948, he tried to get people to join the Mattachine Society. It took him two years to find one other person who would join."

"Well, [in] 1993," Jennings continued, "Harry Hay marched with a million people in Washington, who thought he had a good idea 40 years before."

Hay started the Mattachine Society in 1948 to advocate for homosexual rights and later founded the Radical Faeries to continue his work. Harry Hay was also a long-time supporter of NAMBLA, the North American Man Boy Love Association, a group that endorses sexual relations between adult men and young boys. Hay advocated for the removal of all age-of-consent laws in this country to allow young men to be preyed upon by older men.

In a 1983 speech to NAMBLA, Hay said "I also would like to say at this point that it seems to me that in the gay community the people who should be running interference for NAMBLA are the parents and friends of gays. Because if the parents and friends of gays are truly friends of gays, they would know from their gay kids that the relationship with an older man is precisely what thirteen-, fourteen-, and fifteen-year-old kids need more than anything else in the world. And they would be welcoming this, and welcoming the opportunity for young gay kids to have the kind of experience that they would need."

This is the same man our 'Safe Schools Czar' "admires".

Jennings gave a speech in 1995 outlining his intention to manipulate the English language to get what he wanted when promoting the gay agenda in schools. Instead of approaching the subject directly, the current 'Safe Schools Czar' decided to approach it from a "safety" angle.

"If the radical right can succeed in portraying us as preying on children, we will lose. Their language – 'promoting homosexuality' is one example – is laced with subtle and not-so-subtle innuendo that we are 'after their kids.'

In Massachusetts the effective reframing of this issue was the key to the success of the Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth. We immediately seized upon the opponent's calling card – safety – and explained how homophobia represents a threat to students' safety by creating a climate where violence, name-calling, health problems, and suicide are common. Titling our report 'Making Schools Safe for Gay and Lesbian Youth,' we automatically threw our opponents onto the defensive and stole their best line of attack. This framing short-circuited their arguments and left them back-pedaling from day one."

What happens behind closed doors between two consenting adults is none of my business, but where do the gay activists feel it is their place to teach our kids about homosexuality? Last time I looked, it was still the job of the parents to do so if they choose.

Mr. Jennings should be getting the Van Jones treatment for radical lunacy. Instead, I have yet to hear one peep from even Fox News. Now if this had been a pastor pushing for prayer in public school, the left would never let it go until he was exiled to the far reaches of Antarctica.

Education decisions belong in the hands of parents, not NAMBLA.

UPDATE: October 6, 2009 -- Thanks to my BOF (best online friend) Bunni for the link to this. Jennings actually criticizes schools for promoting heterosexuality. Perish the thought!!!
