Czar Trek

Although there continues to be plenty of controversy surrounding Kevin Jennings, the President’s latest response isn’t “fire him” but “fund him!” As part of the “Keeping All Students Safe Act” (H.R. 4247), the administration is pushing for a $45 million raise for Kevin Jennings’s programs—one of which is a radical “school climate” project. During his tenure at the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), that meant measuring how well the classroom fully integrated homosexual themes.

Yesterday, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), one of 53 Congressmen to call for an investigation, spoke on the House floor about the hypocrisy of giving more taxpayer dollars to a drug-abusing, statutory rape-supporting czar for the purpose of securing America’s classrooms. “I suspect the President of the United States isn’t interested in having Kevin Jennings come before the cameras here in the United States Congress because he has made the totality of his life about promoting homosexuality within the schools and much of it at the elementary school level.”
