"drug-abusing, statutory rape-supporting"
The above is how the unbelievably shameless Family Research Council has now taken to describing the Assistant Deputy Secretary for the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools at the U.S. Department of Education, Kevin Jennings (underlining is ours):
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.

Never mind that the "statutory rape" they are claiming Kevin supported ...
I wonder what kind of database Obama uses to locate people like [Kevin Jennings and Chai Feldblum]? Is it Monster.com? That would be appropriate. Or is it FreaksUnlimited.com? Maybe Obamanations.com? No, it's got to be Perverts.gov.
I'm telling you, the entire federal government is going to have to be fumigated some day when these deviants and degenerates are finally sent packing.

Let this be a lesson to you kids: Say insane, society-weakening, divisive, hurtful, negligent, gay-endangering crap like the above, and you to can roll in the dough:

Their wanton desire to de-gay America knows no bounds:
I guess it's just coincidence that the two overqualified appointments/nominees that these social conservatives are hellbent on destroying (Chai Feldblum being the other) just so happen to be gay. Right? Riiiiiiiiiiiight.
Oh, and what's with that bizarro angle at which they've filmed Peter Sprigg? Yo, Peter, buddy: Perhaps you shouldn't be so quick to export the gays...
Some of us do know a thing or two about flattering cinematography. Safe schools, too.

The social conservative mindset, summed up in two sentences:
[Concerned Women For America's Dr. Janice Shaw Crouse] served with Jennings on a task force organized by former Surgeon General David Satcher charged with the responsibility of finding “common ground” between left-right activist scholars for “responsible sexual behavior.” During that time, she found Kevin to be charming and friendly, but his charm, she said “tends to obscure his total and overwhelming commitment and dedication to mainstreaming homosexual behavior, especially among students.”
Crouse says: Kevin Jennings Must Go [CWA]
Alright, so let's process: Ms. Crouse was on the Satcher task force (much ...
It's not just Chai Feldblum (or Kevin Jennings before that). The Family Research Council's Tony Perkins is now turning the wantonly pointed guns towards OPM Director John Berry, for seemingly no other reason than the fact that he's a gay man:
Berry reveals nothing new in this video. He highlights the very things that President Obama has pledged to take on (with hate crimes already passed). They are the core four points on most every pro-gay person's docket Yet Tony's video (and related blog post) is wholly built around the idea that John Berry has ...

This is how the Family Research Council's website looks as of 8:52AM (highlighting ours):
Ya know, because replacing their whole site with a big pic of Kevin with a scarlet "GAY" written on his face would've been too subtle. [::excruciatingly drawn out eye roll::]
Humorously/enragingly, FRC says in their related text:
Anyone who says the religious right is the only group taking aim at safe schools "czar" Kevin Jennings could not be more wrong. We can point to 53 reasons why. That's the current number of signatures on a letter to President Obama calling for Jennings's removal from the Department of ...

Do any of the above names belong to your congressional district? If that answer is yes, then you should know that they have just signed on to a disgusting, partisan, FRC-generated, fallacious attack on Safe ...
Yesterday and today, Q-Notes reported on a letter signed by 53 U.S. House members urging President Barack Obama to remove Department of Education Assistant Deputy Secretary Kevin Jennings, who heads up the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools.

Right-wing groups have taken aim at an openly gay Obama Administration official after conservative media and several activists and pundits chastised the official over sex advice he gave a gay student in 1988. The attacks culminated Wednesday in a call from 26 U.S. House members for President Barack Obama to remove Kevin Jennings, an assistant [...] ...
Appearing before a packed and welcoming room at the Human Rights Campaign's annual dinner in Washington, President Obama delivered a speech strong on rhetoric that did not make any new promises or commitments. In his strongest language to date he promised the crowd, as he has in the past, that he would end the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, but did not offer any timeline for doing so.
Watch, AFTER THE JUMP...
Obama spoke about the Employment Non-Discrimination Act (ENDA) and promised to defend any of his employees from attacks based on who they are, a likely reference ...
In a 2000 speech, Kevin Jennings, the anti-bullying hero that the far-right is demonizing simply because it's gay people to whom Kevin has directed his anti-bullying efforts, said the following about LGBT people, the need to respect ALL people, and the absurdity of the idea that any particular curriculum could "turn one gay":
*Source: Media Matters
So what does the rabidly anti-gay, clinically fallacious-filled Family Research Council (among others) say of this very same speech? Well, this:
What's the real problem in American schools? According to the President's safe schools czar, it's heterosexuality. In a speech that ...

Responding to the "controversy" that the far-right has been drumming up about the way he handled a teen student who once revealed a same-sex encounter with a man (of unspecified age), Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools head Kevin Jennings issued this statement:
"Twenty one years later I can see how I should have handled this situation differently. I should have asked for more information and consulted legal or medical authorities. Teachers back then had little training or guidance about this kind of thing. All teachers should have a basic level of preparedness. I would like ...
