Religion in the Schools

This is an interesting (and revolting) piece of tape that demonstrates the incrimental approach that the radicals use in acheiving major policy change. The key to their strategy is to make sure that mainstream America doesn't see the master plan. The panelist is Kevin Jennings, the Assistant Deputy Secretary for the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools at the U.S. Department of Education.

Jennings became a high school history teacher, first at Moses Brown School in Providence, Rhode Island, from 1985 to 1987, and then at Concord Academy in Concord, Mass, from 1987 to 1995 where he was chair of the history department. In 1992 the Edward Calesa Foundation named Jennings one of fifty "Terrific Teachers Making a Difference".

His comments on Cardinal Law are particularly revealing regarding his perspective on his role as an agent for change.

Kevin Jennings uses the euphemism of "curriculum reform" when describing his ultimate goal of introducing gay issues into the public schools. Mr. Jennings also refers to Catholic Cardinal Bernard Francis Law as an "old queen".

President Barack Obama’s safe schools czar wrote a foreword to a book in 1999 that called for elementary school children to explore their sexual identities, for teachers to incorporate homosexual themes in grades K-5, for discarding a “hetero-normative” approach to education and for “acknowledging children as sexual beings.”

Electing Republicans who will stand up for conservative values is imporant, because people like Kevin Jennings get to positions of power with the support of moderates who want to go along with the radicals rather than fight over values.

In 1992, Jennings was appointed by Governor William Weld to co-chair the Education Committee of the Governor's Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth.[4] He was the principal author of, "Making Schools Safe for Gay & Lesbian Youth", a commission report.[1] The Massachusetts State Board of Education adopted the report as policy in May 1993 and the state became the first in the U.S. to outlaw discrimination of public school students on the basis of sexual orientation in December 1993.[1]
