Seriously, you're okay with this guy?
:lol
So he hasn't actually done anything as a member of the Obama administration with which you disagree.
Can you name anything he has actually done as a member of the Obama administration?

I think the problem is akin to appointing someone with a history of stealing chickens to the position of Poultry Czar. :lol

Why give him the chance? What's the upside to having this pervert in the administration?

Re: Seriously, is this not enough...
I was going to ask what exactly is in a fisting kit, but quickly decided I really don't want to know.

Re: Seriously, is this not enough...

Re: Seriously, is this not enough...
I'm sure that nobody employed by the Bush Administration ever, for example, basically decided that the constitution was merely advisory or that long-standing constitutional precedent could be summarily ignored on executive whim. Had they done so, I'm sure that Yonivore and others would have been screaming about the poor judgment of a President who would rely upon such a person.
Oh, and no more gays should be allowed to hold policy making provisions. Constitution, schmonstitution -- I draw the line at gays being allowed to make policy at any level. Next thing you know, they'll be letting Hispanics, Blacks, Muslims, and atheists do that kind of thing! I really should never be subjected to the policy choices of those I vehemently disagree with -- the outcomes of elections do not overbear the fundamental correctness of my philosophical beliefs.

Why? You never answered the original question; is this type of appointment not enough to question Obama's judgment on who he puts in his administration? If you knew of Jenning's background, would you appoint him "Safe Schools Czar?" They're simple questions, really.
Besides, I'm not privvy to his daily itinerary or responsibilities so, I'm not sure exactly what he's doing or what he has done. I just know I don't want to give him the chance. I think reasonable people would agree.

Your characterizations that someone did is merely your partisan view...a view not shared by everyone. That Jennings was involved in teaching high school children about fisting and providing kits to accomplish the feat, isn't conjecture. It's fact.

Who said anything about gays? Nice deflection. I'm concerned with the pervert's interest in facilitating abnormal teen sex acts.

I don't know about Jennings' background beyond what hysterical douches have posted. I don't find hysterical douches persuasive.
Simple answers.

Thanks for admitting your complete ignorance.

Back in 2000, Jennings' organization, the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), held a conference at Tufts University. The conference featured numerous workshops for students and educators, including "How to decide whether to come out at work," and "Strategies and curriculum ideas for addressing gay, lesbian, bisexual and trans-gender issues in a high school English curriculum." One of the workshops, titled "What They Didn't Tell You About Queer Sex and Sexuality in Health Class: Workshop for Youth Only, Ages 14-21," was run by two Massachusetts state Department of Education staffers and a state DoE consultant.
During the workshop, students asked a lot of very explicit questions about sex, and received explicit answers. As Hoft himself acknowledges in the body of his posts, it is the Department of Education staffers - not Jennings himself - who appear in the audio giving those answers. An activist for the anti-gay group Parents Rights Coalition (now MassResistance) snuck into the workshop and taped it, in a possible violation of state laws banning the taping of people without their permission (stop me if you've heard this one before).
Jennings subsequently criticized the workshop to the Boston Herald:

"Like the Parents Rights Coalition and the Department of Education, GLSEN is also troubled by some of the content that came up during this workshop," said Kevin Jennings, national executive director of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.
He said people who run workshops in the future will get clearer guidelines, though Jennings said the network's annual conference at Tufts University should not be judged on the 30-student seminar "What They Didn't Tell You About Queer Sex and Sexuality in Health Class."
"We need to make our expectations and guidelines to outside facilitators much more clear," said Jennings. "Because we are surprised and troubled by some of the accounts we've heard."

Meanwhile, officials at the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, said they would also be looking further into the March workshops, because they would also be opposed to graphic sex talk that would be inappropriate for young adults.
"From what I've heard, I have concerns as well," said executive director Kevin Jennings. "GLSEN believes that children do have a right to accurate, safer sex education, but this needs to be delivered in an age appropriate and sensitive manner."
It's also worth noting that the three Department of Education employees who ran the workshops were fired for this incident.

Oh I agree it's weird, but what I'm having trouble with is the nexus between an incident that Jennings was not a party to and his qualifications for his position in the administration.

This isn't Jennings' only transgression. He has quite a history of excusing, condoning, or sympathizing with adult/child sexual relationships.
He once praised a guy name Harry Hay who was a mover and shaker in NAMBLA and once bragged of having sex with an 18 month old baby. His supporters (apologists) will point out he was merely praising Hay's activism or gays but, c'mon, were there no other praise-worthy gay activists that didn't rape children? He called this sicko an inspiration.
He once looked the other way, as a high school counselor, when a minor child reported a sexual relationship with an adult.
And, now this?

So, using your logic, Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld should be held responsible for Abu Ghraib. They were, as you said, invovled.

Forgive me if I don't believe the rantings of a hysterical douche who is a proven liar.
