Safe schools czar Kevin Jennings promoted pornographic books to children

For years, Barack Obama's safe schools czar Kevin Jennings served as executive director of a gay rights education group called the Gay Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). On its web site, the group published a list of books recommended for classroom reading in order to overcome gay prejudice. But an examination of 11 of the books GLSEN was recommending for grades 7-12 revealed that many of the books were XXX-rated pornography.
"We were unprepared for what we encountered. Book after book after book contained stories and anecdotes that weren’t merely X-rated and pornographic, but which featured explicit descriptions of sex acts between pre-schoolers; stories that seemed to promote and recommend child-adult sexual relationships; stories of public masturbation, anal sex in restrooms, affairs between students and teachers, five-year-olds playing sex games, semen flying through the air. One memoir even praised becoming a prostitute as a way to increase one’s self-esteem. Above all, the books seemed to have less to do with promoting tolerance than with an unabashed attempt to indoctrinate students into a hyper-sexualized worldview."
If you're not too squeamish, click here and scroll down for a list of quotes from some of the books, which includes literary masterpieces like Queer 13 and In Your Face. All of these books were recommended by GLSEN for children as young as 12. All were recommended while Jennings was executive director.
Jennings has written that, upon learning about a 15-year-old student's sexual encounter with an older man in a Boston bus station bathroom, he said to the student, "I hope you knew to use a condom." (The boy was later found to have been 16, not 15.) His group GLSEN once sponsored a mandatory seminar for students as young as 12 that taught various sexual techniques, including "fisting" (look it up). This is Barack Obama's point man in charge of keeping America's school safe.
