Yet another reason to not send your kids to public schools

These are the sorts of people who make policy at the highest levels for public "education"

President Obama's "safe schools czar" is a former schoolteacher who has advocated promoting homosexuality in schools, written about his past drug abuse, expressed his contempt for religion and detailed an incident in which he did not report an underage student who told him he was having sex with older men.

Conservatives are up in arms about the appointment of Kevin Jennings, Obama's director of the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools, saying he is too radical for the job.

Jennings was appointed to the position largely because of his longtime record of working to end bullying and discrimination in schools. In 1990, as a teacher in Massachusetts, he founded the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), which now has over 40 chapters at schools nationwide. He has also published six books on gay rights and education, including one that describes his own experiences as a closeted gay student.

Do you want men like that creating education policy for your kids? Read the whole article to see who the education establishment thinks knows what is best for your kids.

Absolutely not!

If you want to see your kids imbued with leftist, Marxist, gay, enviro-wacko ideology...then leave them in a public school.

If not, you'd better get them out of there by any means possible.

And, now Obama is coming out stating that school days should be longer, summer vacation shorter, and schools should be open on the weekends as a safe haven for students to go to if needed???? For heavens sake, do they think we are stupid, they want complete control of the students so that they have as much influence as possible on them. Between the proposals in the health care plan to have home visits with every family who has a baby, to getting children into preschool by two, now they want them over the weekend too?????? How long until those in charge of education in the country deem parents irrelevant???????
