MEDIA ADVISORY, Sept. 30 /Standard Newswire/ -- Bishop E.W. Jackson Sr., Founder and President of a national grassroots organization, formed to call America back to its Judeo-Christian values, has sent a letter to President Obama demanding the firing of Kevin Jennings, appointed to head the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools. Jennings is founder of the Gay Lesbian & Straight Education Network ("GLSEN"), and -- according to Bishop Jackson -- is "an anti-Christian bigot and radical homosexual activist."
The basis of the demand that Mr. Jennings be fired is his admitted involvement in facilitating the relationship of a 15 year old boy ("Brewster") with an adult homosexual male he met at a bus stop. According to Grove City College Professor Warren Throckmorton's audio recording of a speech Jennings gave in 2000 at a GLSEN rally in Iowa, Kevin Jennings admitted to instructing the student as follows:
"I said, 'What were you doing in Boston on a school night, Brewster?' He got very quiet, and he finally looked at me and said, 'Well I met someone in the bus station bathroom and I went home with him.' I looked at Brewster and said, 'You know, I hope you knew to use a condom.'"
Later in writing about the incident in his 1994 book, "One Teacher in Ten," he boasted that the 15 year old “left my office with a smile on his face that I would see every time I saw him on campus for the next two years, until he graduated."
In his letter to the President, Jackson argues that Mr. Jennings is morally responsible for the rape of Brewster and may be criminally liable as well. Says Jackson, "Protecting our children is a task so sensitive and sacred that only those who meet the highest standard should be charged with it. Kevin Jennings does not meet that standard and should not be in charge of the safety of school children. Had the matter been adjudicated, Jennings may well have been fined or imprisoned."
The Bishop also makes clear in his letter to the President that he believes STAND represents the majority of Americans in demanding Kevin Jennings be dismissed. "I represent...millions of Americans -- no doubt a majority -- who object to your appointment of Kevin Jennings," says Bishop Jackson. "As American citizens we demand that he be dismissed because his behavior and his bigotry make him unfit to serve."
