Vetting? Not So Much

I have to say right here, right now, that whoever is doing the vetting in the White House for all these Czarships, has a strange sense of humor, if that is what you want to call the gross incompetence that has been on exhibit since the Van Jones debacle. I mean, really?

The White House has to have a rather bizarre sense of humor to nominate the “Safe Schools” Czar, Kevin Jennings.

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.

It would be funny if it were not disgusting- is this what a liberal agenda means? This boy, 15 years old, was asking for advice about sex with a man in his 40’s- a situation that Kevin Jennings rightly should have reported to the authorities- it was, after all, statutory rape, as the child was not of the legal age of consent, but no- in a decision that would have made Roman Polanski proud, he merely asked the student to remember condoms. What? 

Are you freaking kidding me? And this same person is nominated as the “Safe Schools” Czar? Is this level of insanity actually deliberate?  Can we all agree that this man is about as poor a choice as anyone could be?

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.”

Oh, the warm and fuzzy feelings that Mr. Jennings has- or is that someone’s hand? In any event, this man, like any other pervert, or pervert- enabler,  should not be anywhere close to schools- indeed, he should stay at least 1,000 feet from any children, including any he has managed to spawn- he is obviously unfit. And quite possibly insane.

Personally, I have no problem with gay people- I do have a problem with permissive teachers giving the thumbs up to any relationship that involves statutory rape- period. Gay, straight, it matters not to me- but giving children the chance to stay children for just a little bit longer before they have to discover how cruel the world can be is, in my mind, a good thing.

People will always try to take advantage of others less able to defend themselves- what we do not need is a “Safe Schools” Czar that has absolutely no capacity to live up to his title.

His title should be “Statutory Rape Enabler” Czar.

Try, try again.

This won’t do.
