So, normally when I am on here looking at the pages I am a fan of I usually don't take a lot of stock into much of what I read because most of it is posted to take up time and space. However I was reading some posts on Vigilant Citizen, an anti-illuminati page. Something someone posted truly disturbed me to the point of nausea. This person had posted something about the organization NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association) Yes, even the name makes me violently ill. This organization advocates for pedophiles. Although, they don't see it that way. They think it is perfectly normal for older men to have sexual relationships with minor boys. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm all for mentoring and being positive role models for boys, especially for those that don't have their fathers. However, I have a BIG problem with men having sex with boys. No, I'm not bashing homosexuals because I have just as much problem with grown men having sex with minor girls, and vice versa. Look at what's his face Warren Jeffs and his twisted followers. Am I the only one that is deeply disturbed by all this? I would think that any of my friends would be as much as I am.
So, I could go into a long deep speech about people discover their sexuality (homo or hetero) at a young age and all, even though it is true, it is irrelevant at this time. We could even go into how some people think that homosexuality is a mental disorder, that's just as irrelevant. However both of these thoughts are relevant. Yes, I think that teenagers have the desire to have sex just as adults do. Although I think that it's always smarter for them to wait, I'd safely say that over half are going to have sex as teenagers. I think that whether we argue if it is natural or not there are homosexuals, it's a part of life, just like different races are equally part of life. (again, I ramble but there's a point) HOWEVER I feel that pedophilia IS a mental disorder. Maybe not in and of it's self--it probably stems from some diagnosable disorder. I just don't see how there are people that think that adults having sex with children (yes, folks teenagers ARE children) can possibly be natural. So, my Bible scholar friends can pull verses and chapters out of men marrying young girls and all that good stuff. However, doesn't the Bible also tell us to follow the law of the land along with his laws? Yeah, for those that don't know, it's called statutory rape, molestation, sexual abuse!
Ok, now, here is what even further disturbed me.
Kevin Jennings is the founder of Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN). Ok, that's cool. He was appointed by Education Secretary Arne Duncan, to head the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools. Ok, no problems there either right? Well, keep reading.
Perhaps the most dramatic illustration, however, of Jennings’ unfitness for a “safe schools” post involves an incident when he taught at Concord Academy, a private boarding school in Massachusetts. In his book One Teacher in Ten (the title is based on the discredited myth, now abandoned even by “gay” activist groups, that ten percent of the population is homosexual), he tells about a young male sophomore, “Brewster,” who confessed to Jennings “his involvement with an older man he met in Boston.” But at a GLSEN rally in 2000, Jennings told a more explicit version of “Brewster’s” story. Jennings here quotes the boy and then comments: “‘I met someone in the bus station bathroom and I went home with him.’ High school sophomore, 15 years old. That was the only way he knew how to meet gay people.”
Did Jennings report this high-risk behavior to the authorities? To the school? To the boy’s parents? No -- he just told the boy, “I hope you knew to use a condom.” Sex between an adult and a young person below the “age of consent” (which varies from state to state) is a crime known as statutory rape, and some states mandate that people in certain professions report such abuse.
Kevin Jennings, President Obama's Assistant Deputy Secretary of the Office of Safe and Drug FreeSchools at the U.S. Department of Education, is in hot water this week for having failed to report that a 15-year-old sophomore student in his school had told him of having sex with an older man.
But failure to report what appeared to be a case of statuatory rape of a child may be the least of Jennings' worries. Lori Roman of Regular Folks United points to statements by Jennings a decade or more ago when he praised Harry Hay of the North American Association for Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), which promotes the legalization of sexual abuse of young boys by older men.
So, basically this man is over the safety of our school-age children. He knew of an illegal situation that was self-reported by a child and didn't report this to authorities.AND it seems that he is a supporter of NAMBLA? Now, how would he have reacted if it had been a teenage girl reporting this to him that she was having sex with an of age man?
This kind of crap terrifies me. I have two sons but if I had a daughter I would be just as scared. I realize that there are sick twisted people out there and they can post whatever they want to on the internet, but we have a member of our so-called government, who's job is to oversee the safety of our children in schools, apparently supporting this. It is our job to protect our kids from predators, that's why I am writing this. So many of my friends have precious children, and I would be very much grateful if they found something as such to share it with me.
