Week of October 4, 2009 - October 10, 2009

Time to make a stand


"Kevin Jennings, the director of the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools, has become a major target of the right as Fox News, anti-gay marriage groups and Rep. Steve King (R-IA) pile on the openly gay Department of Education appointee." TPM


It is time to make a stand. I've heard Kevin Jennings speak.  He is the former director of GLSEN.  He is in favor of creating a safe learning environment for all students in our schools. It was a great idea for the Obama administration to appoint him to his present position.  No caving in to homophobes on this one.  We have a great man in the perfect spot.  He stays there regardless of right wing opposition.
