Yes, there’s evidently a safe schools czar in the Obama Administration. It’s one of the several dozen powerful bureaucratic positions not subject to Senate confirmation and yet in control of taxpayer funds and federal governmental functions. The position is currently filled by Kevin Jennings, who evidently has a thing for porn in the classroom.

Wait, what? Porn in the classroom?

Yes, it’s true. A team lead by Scott Baker put on their muck boots and waded through a reading list endorsed by Jennings and GLSEN, the group he founded. Ready for a few excerpts? Make sure you’re not eating anything first. Here we go…

Reflections of a Rock Lobster – Pages 13 + 14
(At the age of six, the author played “sex therapist” with a five-year-old friend, and “explored our sexuality to its fullest.”)

One friend I was very close to was Billy Marlen. Billy was a year behind me in school yet we got along well together. In our friendship, a special camaraderie existed that was rare in my other friendships. There was a brotherhood that does not often occur even between brothers. We shared our toys and spent many summer days building sandcastles on the beach. On rainy days I’d walk down to Billy’s house where we spent the day reading books and building racetracks and playing sex therapist in his basement. We were human beings who knew no social inhibitions and were willing to explore our sexuality to its fullest.

Passages of Pride – Page 4

(Beginning at the age of five, a young child has sexual encounters with his playmates.)

Throughout his childhood, from age five on, Derek would sneak off with a friend into someone’s basement or the woods along the back alley, where they would take off their pants and play with each other, usually fondling each other’s genitals. It became habitual.

“At that time, I didn’t quite have a name for it,” says Derek. “It was something that I liked doing, that felt good, that I wanted to do as often as I could. The other kids always recognized it as being something bad and dirty. And all I wanted to know was, When can we do it again?”

To be clear, these are books recommended by Jennings for school children and their teachers. As Baker writes:

Book after book after book contained stories and anecdotes that weren’t merely X-rated and pornographic, but which featured explicit descriptions of sex acts between pre-schoolers; stories that seemed to promote and recommend child-adult sexual relationships; stories of public masturbation, anal sex in restrooms, affairs between students and teachers, five-year-olds playing sex games, semen flying through the air. One memoir even praised becoming a prostitute as a way to increase one’s self-esteem.

This is a list endorsed by Jennings. To be clear, one of Barack Obama’s czars endorses the use of pornography, including adult-child sexual relationships, in the classroom. And yet the left-wing media is silent on this.
