What do you do if you’re caught in something shocking, inexcusable and even criminal?
You divert attention by getting someone to attack the messenger: “Don’t look at this stuff! Look over there!”
And so, amid the growing scandal surrounding President Obama’s “safe schools czar,” Kevin Jennings, his defenders have unleashed Media Matters to tar anyone who brings Jennings’ shocking record to light. I think it will backfire on them royally when people see what it’s all about.
Jennings is the Assistant Deputy Secretary for Safe and Drug-Free Schools at the U.S. Department of Education. He founded the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN) in 1995 and ran it until 2008.
GLSEN promotes homosexuality in schools from grades K-12, organizes gay/straight alliance clubs and stages disruptive events such as “The Day of Silence” and “Ally Day.”
Media Matters (MM) is the far-left group headed by David Brock, the former conservative who wrote exposes of Anita Hill and Bill Clinton but turned to the left after being “outed” as a homosexual. MM purports to fight “conservative bias” in the media. Well, no one said their job was easy.
Last week, MM went after MassResistance.com, a small group of brave people who have taken on the homosexual activist juggernaut in Massachusetts. The good folks at MassResistance have provided rock-solid evidence that Jennings is unfit to be near any school kids, much less be the “safe schools czar.” More than 50 congressmen think so, too, and have sent a letter to President Obama demanding that Jennings go.
Media Matters sprang into action when too much about Jennings and GLSEN was getting out in such places as the editorial page of The Washington Times, WorldNetDaily.com, BigGovernment.com and Gateway Pundit. Several have cited MassResistance while revealing GLSEN’s predatory track record.
