The American Principles Project has just launched ExpelJennings.org, a blog dedicated to ousting Kevin Jennings from the Department of Education via online activism. The spokesman for the effort: Robert P. George, a Princeton University professor who also serves as chairman of the board of the National Organization for Marriage. In a video for the site, he links Jennings to a radical agenda that’s destroying innocence in America.
“The innocence of children is a very important value,” says George, speaking from inside his office. “It’s a value that our own culture has neglected. And the price of that neglect has been concrete harm, real harm, to an awful lot of innocent young people.”
From there, George makes the case that Jennings is a radical who wants to teach “pro-sexual liberationist, pro-homosexualist propaganda” in schools. As he speaks, there are images of books like “Heather Has Two Mommies” and pictures of Jennings with other activists — including actress Jeri Ryan, whom political junkies remember as the aggrieved wife in the (heterosexual) sex scandal that took down Republican U.S. Senate nominee Jack Ryan in 2004.
“Children don’t need to be learning about homosexual practices in elementary school,” says George. “They don’t need to be learning about sexual practices of any type in elementary school. But Kevin Jennings, people who are associated with him, have been promoting just that. Jennings is the author of a foreword of a book called ‘Queering Elementary Education.’ Well, we don’t need elementary education to be ‘queered.’”

First of all, even if you don't “teach” about homosexuality in school, children are still going to see it around them. They're going to see it on TV, in their neighborhoods, probably even from adults they know. And it won't pervert them anymore than acknowledging homosexuality in school would. I think this Jennings guy will bring some much-needed awareness to our schools. http://www.newsy.com/videos/new_czar_on_target

Where is this clown's concern about the sexual exposure of children to relentless advertisements on network & cable for penis enlargement products and viagra? I know, I know— can't mess with the 'free market' —it's SACRED. Just a bunch of golden-calf-worshipping hypocrites

[...] Two items came across my desk this morning leading me to opposite emotional responses. First, I felt beaten down and depressed; yet another critical cultural value is being challenged by the administration who is not committed to the fundamental principles on which our country was founded. And this time – it involves children. Robert George a Princeton law professor, bioethicist and one of my favorite writers called my attention to his campaign to oust Kevin Jennings from the Department of Education: Children don’t need to be learning about homosexual practices in elementary school,” says George. “They don’t need to be learning about sexual practices of any type in elementary school.

After the right wing goes after the “gay” in Obama's cabinet, the “victim” speaks up!
Its great because the reality is so non controversial. He was of legal consent and he didnt have sex, just a conversation on a bus.
