@ColonPal The sort of ignorance you write about starts in the home, it comes from bigoted parents and no amount of education can obliterate it. Jennings is a converted Muslim, a so called moderate who criticises extremism, what a joke. If he had half a brain he'd understand that extreme religious views are unwittingly condoned by the moderates, by their very existence.

All and every religion is the cause of most of the misery on this planet, the tool of the elites "divide & conquer".

search "fistgate"

this guy jennings is a pied piper that has no business around children

I for one say it's about TIME we got someone like Jennings in there -- schools are INCREDIBLY HOMOPHOBIC places and it's about time we got someone who understands this in there to make some much needed changes. I would like to see 'faggot' become the next 'N' word. It's amazing that kids still get away with this kind of harassment.

the executive branch is obviously extremely insecure in it's own ability to make educated decisions, so they surround their selfs with czars.... what a joke , this admin has to be a one term admin. Obama = Hoover.

[JennieMH9]

Well, I am sure glad that you have some additional facts. Could you please direct me to this other information you have. I would be very interested to read any policy or legislation he has advised on in regards to all students and not just the LBGT students.

[fanagot]

He IS protecting ALL children, not only GAY children just because he happens to be gay. Homophobes are trying to smear him just because he is gay. Shame on them.

[JennieMH9]

For one min. I would like to lay aside the fact that this man has an agenda dealing with homosexuality. The problem is that his agenda itself outshines any qualifications he may have for his position. The position he is in is about the safety of ALL children. Not just one group. There are serious safety issues within the public school system. While some of them deal with gay students many of them effect ALL students.

[fanagot]

This is clearly a religious right smear campaign. And they are trying to become clever in their disgusting nazi ways. Gay people need protection from these nutters.

[huskie767]

homosexuality is confusing.... Does anyone know about a book that is entitled "Queering elementary education"? Kevin Jennings needs to go.  He is one scary dude

[JennieMH9]

To be fair to both parties, here are the numbers... as far as I can tell, G.W. Bush appointed 31 czars, and B. Obama has appointed 32. Of course the 31 for Bush was over the course of 8 years. (For example of that 31, there were five DIFFERENT people who held the position of "AIDS Czar" in 8 years.)
