Naples Daily News Abets Bigotry

Submitted by David Hart on Mon, 10/12/2009 - 14:17

I am an advocate of the exchange of ideas across the political and social spectra. There is a point, though, when a newspaper enables irresponsible bigotry. It is hard to define the line that should not be crossed. Nevertheless, that trespass becomes startlingly apparent at times.

I don't know who Jim Finnegan is - nor do I really care. Nevertheless, his polemic about Kevin Jennings at The Naples Daily News titled A Fox in the Hen House is inaccurate, irresponsible and irreconcilable. When one describes a gay man as the "Fox in the Hen House," that is a deliberate effort to foster the ugliest of homophobic slurs - that gay men are out to recruit and molest children. It is the equivalent of portraying black men as lusting for white women.

Finnegan even goes on the make this claim explicitly:

I have been astounded with the boldness and audacity of the homosexual activists in keeping their promise, 'we will get your children,' meaning they will accept, and sometimes participation [sic] in our chosen lifestyle.

This article goes on to make a number of inaccurate and distorted hyperbolic statements that we are accustomed to seeing from the likes of Peter LaBarbera and Matt Barber. However, this is not OneNewsNow. This is published in a mainstream newspaper owned by EW Scripps. Aside from the fact that this has not been fact-checked, it has not been edited for spelling and grammar (I am sure that I omitted a "sic" or two):

For years we have heard of the danger of "putting the fox in charge of the hen house." No where [sic] is this danger more frightening than President Obama's latest czar choice- Kevin Jennings. Easily the most outrageous and dangerous of all of Obama's czar appointments. Payment to the undying support of the homosexual activists who worked so hard for his election.

As Safe School Czar, as big an oxymoron you will ever find in a title, to place Jennings in charge of keeping our schools safe for our children as young as kindergarten is an atrocity we can never affort [sic] to let happen.

I have been astounded with the boldness and audacity of the homosexual activists in keeping their promise, "we will get your children," meaning they will accept, and sometimes participation [sic] in our chosen lifestyle. A lifestyle considered dangerous and deviant to the large majority of the parents/grandparents that "our fox in charge of the hen house" (our children within the educational system) has pledged to keep safe.

As is documented in the well researched book by Alan Sears of the Alliance Defense Fund, "The Homosexual Agenda," (yours for the asking) on a daily basis across America, with the willing partnership of the National Education Association, and a cooperating media, children as young as kindergarten are being taught that their parents are "stupid" or "bigots" or "intolerant" if they do not accept homosexual behavior as normal and good. A life choice to be celebrated. To force sodomy down the throats of the parents without notification or the right to opt their children out of these outrageous classes.

The good news is the growing national outrage at the Obama appointment of Jennings as Safe Schools Czar. Not by any means a small department with a $700,000,000 budget. As has been Obama's modus operandi, Kevin Jennings will run the Safe Schoold [sic] Department without Senate approval or oversight.

As children growing up, we were told by our parents that "we would be judged by the friends we choose," and that "we will know a tree by the fruit it produces." Let us take a look "at the fruit" that Kevin Jennings has produced, and also begin to judge Barack Obama by his choice of Jennings to fill this most important position to keep our children safe.

Jennings has a well documented history of promoting homosexual conferences where unsafe sex practices are "sold" to underage kids. He founded the national group GLSEN. (gay, lesbian, and straight education network) GLSEN targets schoolchildren as young as 12 with homosexual propaganda through such things as organizing homosexual clubs in high schools AND MIDDLE SCHOOLS, across he country.

Thats [sic] correct, middle school students being taught explicit homosexual activity without parental notification, and usually without an opportunity to opt out of any classes of this type. "Gay days. transgender days, along with "anti bullying" programs as a way to get a foot in the door for homosexual and transgender indoctrination of even the youngest of children are used to sell the lifestyle. Also available for your asking, a well documented expose of "What same sex "marriage" has done to Massachusetts." We look to the past, to see what the future might hold if we stay silent.

Mr.Jennings while a counselor at a boarding school attended by underage students, was approached by a 15 year old who asked for guidance. The youngster was having sex with older men in bus stations restrooms. Jennings sage advise [sic] to the 15 year old, "I hope you know how to use a condom." No report of this high risk behavior (over 70% of HIV and Aids cases come from man to man sex) to the parents, school administrators, or as required, the police. To Jennings this activity did not require any notification, only information on how to put on a condom. Jennings documented disregard for parental rights and childrens [sic] well being, while being Obama's choice to keep our schools safe is mind boggling. Safe sure, but only for sexual predators.

It gets worse, while executive director of the before mentioned GLSEN, while holding a work shop in Massachusetts, with children as young as 12, they were taught how to perform homosexual acts. The "Little black book" given to those in the conference,with pictures and explanations could only be considered hard core pornography. Jennings was widely publized [sic] for "The fistgate scandal" at the same time. This activity discussed in detail with our children is so vile I can not in good conscience describe it. Leave it at "one of the most intrusive and disgusting of all the acts being described openly to our children."

The homosexual agenda starts, and will end if we stay silent, on selling America on their chosen lifestyle as one more good life choice. The indoctrination of our children the most important of all the steps along the way to get this accomplished. Is this what we want to leave for our children, families, and society? If so, may God help us.

Jennings is the "fox" we don't need in the hen house, our public schools. Call your legislators to express your outrage in this choice protect our school children.

This is one fox we can't afford in our hen house. It is too important to choose to stay silent on this one.

Well researched book? Puleaze. Sears' book is the same mess pulling out the same distorted studies, the same junk science and the same conspiracy theories that the religious right have been pushing for 30 years.
