Wingnuts Go After Openly Gay Obama Appointee Kevin Jennings

Tony Perkins' Family Research Council has launched a website in their campaign to depose Kevin Jennings, the former Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network president who was appointed by Obama to head the Office of Safe & Drug-Free Schools. The campaign includes a full page ad in the Washington Examiner.

As the former president of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network, Mr. Jennings worked tirelessly to bring the homosexual agenda into our nation's classrooms, even in grades as young as kindergarten. In addition, in his autobiography, Mr. Jennings expresses no regret about his past drug abuse or recognition of its risks. Instead, he seems amused. In his words, "[W]atching the planes take off and land is actually quite fun when you are drunk and stoned." Jennings has spoken publicly about a high school student he once counseled who was in a sexual relationship with an older man he met in a bus station - yet Jennings never reported this abuse to the authorities, the school, or the child's parents. Family Research Council is launching www.stopjennings.org, to educate the American people about how Jennings' dangerous views make him unfit to protect our nation's schoolchildren. The website will also serve as an action center for those who will join us in calling on the President Obama and Congress to stop this appointment and put someone in this office who truly cares about schoolchildren - someone who would work to protect them from the very influences he seems to promote.

Jennings has also been subject of ridicule and attack on numerous rightwing blogs and news sites.

How can he spread the gay agenda while heading the Office of Safe & Drug-Free Schools? Its not like he's going to force schools to had out anal poppers.

That would've made high school so much more bearable.

(Oops, I accidentally replied to someone's comment. Mea culpa.)

I was reading this on 365gay.com yesterday, I really wanted to find their email thing and yell at them for being morons and how me being gay in no way relates to my (future) teaching skills. I want to be a teacher to teach kids to be successful and open-minded in their futures.

OPEN MINDED? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU THINKING? WE DON'T GO IN FOR THAT OPEN MINDED NONSENSE IN THIS COUNTRY.

I can't wait to reap the rewards from the success of the Gay Agenda, for serious.

I'm sorry, would some STRAIGHT guy admitting to former drug/alcohol use and voicing his opinions on religion hold any water as an argument for whether or not he should be appointed to office?

Jesus fucking christ this makes me so mad.

i was trying to find something more on that. You know because context would help. All I can find at the moment are links to blogs and stuff talking about this campaign.

ok, if that's true, that is bad.
Anybody know if there is any truth to this claim?
Google isn't doing anything for me right now.
All I get are people talking about this Stop The Gay Campaign.

Jesus never said anything about any of that. Homosexuality, however, he mentioned numerous times.

Oh.

Wait.

Wait... he's a homosexual so he shouldn't be in charge of drug free schools?
So is the theory that if some dude sucks your dick, you must be on crack?
