Obama appoints "safe schools czar"

The man Obama has appointed to be our "safe schools czar" has a history of drug abuse, openly expresses contempt for religion, and co-founded the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Network.

I'm not sure how or if this will have any affect on homeschooling, but in general when someone is trying to push a "gay agenda," expresses contempt for religion and make sure that students are exposed to ALL worldviews, this means trouble for homeschoolers. Some of you may remember the post I made recently about the mom who was forced to send her elementary age daughter to public school after the court determined that she was too religious and needed to be exposed to "other worldviews." I wonder if this is where we're headed when you take into consideration the appointment of Mr. Jennings and other things that are happening in the courts right now in regards to educational freedoms.

If you want to read more about the "Assistant Deputy Secretary of the Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools," I would recommend any of these articles:

There are many other articles available online that discuss Jennings' specific beliefs, but honestly they're just so inappropriate that I wouldn't even post the links here. The things this man has been involved with just made me sick to my stomach.
