By THE WASHINGTON TIMES
A teacher was told by a 15-year-old high school sophomore that he was having homosexual sex with an "older man." At the very least, statutory rape occurred. Fox News reported that the teacher violated a state law requiring that he report the abuse. That former teacher, Kevin Jennings, is President Obama's "safe school czar." It's getting hard to keep track of all of this president's problematic appointments. Clearly, the process for vetting White House employees has broken down.
In this one case in which Mr. Jennings had a real chance to protect a young boy from a sexual predator, he not only failed to do what the law required but actually encouraged the relationship.
According to Mr. Jennings' own description in a new audiotape discovered by Fox News, the 15-year-old boy met the "older man" in a "bus station bathroom" and was taken to the older man's home that night. When some details about the case became public, Mr. Jennings threatened to sue another teacher who called his failure to report the statutory rape "unethical." Mr. Jennings' defenders asserted that there was no evidence that he was aware the student had sex with the older man.
However, the new audiotape contradicts this claim. In 2000, Mr. Jennings gave a talk to the Iowa chapter of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, an advocacy group that promotes homosexuality in schools. On the tape, Mr. Jennings recollected that he told the student to make sure "to use a condom" when he was with the older man. That he actively encouraged the relationship is reinforced by Mr. Jennings' own description in his 1994 book, "One Teacher in 10." In that account, the teacher boasts how he allayed the student's concerns about the relationship to such a degree that the 15-year-old "left my office with a smile on his face that I would see every time I saw him on the campus for the next two years, until he graduated."
Mr. Jennings' denials about these events reveal a lack of remorse. He has not admitted that he made mistakes in this case, and he now refuses to answer any questions about the scandal. Don't forget, this is a presidential appointee we're talking about. Mr. Obama should make clear what his standards are for public servants serving at the pleasure of the president. Encouraging and covering up man-boy sexual activity are serious offenses. The White House should force Mr. Jennings to come clean.
Mr. Jennings has made extremely radical statements promoting homosexuality in schools and about his utter contempt for religion that render him unsuitable for a prestigious White House appointment. His job in the Obama administration is to ensure student safety, and this scandal directly calls into question his ability to perform that job. Mr. Jennings and Obama administration officials refuse to answer any questions about this newly discovered evidence. A lot of Americans want answers about this guy and how he was approved for a job in the White House.

It would have been so plastered on my television from every other station that I wouldn't be able to watch anything else.
You guys love to bash on Fox, but they actually report things more close to unbiased than any of the stations on the other side of the isle. Quite frankly, with the major bias that comes from the likes of NBC, MSNBC, CBS, and CNN, there needs to be a station that gives the conservatives more of a voice in the media. I mean if it weren't for them, the rest would run completely unchecked. What seems to be getting everyone's panties in a bunch is that Fox is gaining market share over the rest of them. Seems to me that they are simply starting to become more transparent, and people are getting sick of the propaganda.

You act as though republicans and conservatives are your enemy while completely ignoring democrats, socialist, marxist ect. whose policies are even further from Ron Pauls. Lets not forget the democrats are the ones in control right now.

Your damn right I'm pissed about it! The difference between you and me is I was pissed about it 6 years ago, or even longer if you go back to Clinton. You apparently think all this @!#$ting on the constitution and our rights is a new phenomena, and that the only perpetrators are those in the Democratic party at the behest of President Obama.
At least I know what to expect from the Democratic party despite my disagreement with them. They act exactly how one would expect, no new surprises there! Yes I do have a big problem with people in the Republican party who are treasonous impostors, and also bigots who don't understand the true ideals of Liberty.

Once again should I be surprised by how the Democrats are acting now that they are in power? WAS THIS ALL A BIG MYSTERY TO YOU GUYS? That now all of a sudden you are waking up and realizing what Democrats do once they are in power? Your right it really sucks the Republican party is too ignorant to have chosen a good candidate in the last election. Maybe if I can get a few people to wake the fu(k up and realize exactly what the Republican party should stand for then it won't happen next time around! Or we could go back to just electing the same old politicians like Bush, Romney, Cheney, Palin who are going to accomplish jack 5hit in the strive towards Liberty.
Why are you guys wasting all this time bit(hing and whining about the Democrats? if you want to win and get this country back on track lets start by fixing our own G0d dammned party!
