Here we go!!!
"- The locker room was a source of tremendous anxiety, as I was terrified that my eyes would linger a little too long on the male bodies around me, to which I was increasingly (and disturbingly) drawn." _ Keven Jennings, One Teacher in Ten: Gay and Lesbian Educators Tell Their Stories. (paperback)
I'm sure it's a good read, let me know and I'll take your word for it. What is really appalling. Is this guy being a teacher and have gay students come to him for advice, counsel, or even kinship. I know many of gay and lesbian folks, don't have a problem with it. Don't under any circumstances feed it to my kiddo's. What you do is your business, not mine. BUT ALSO NOT MY CHILDREN'S. Now rather you believe it or not someone in your circle is gay. It's just hidden my friends, they are in the closet. Ohh, what's my point? I'm sorry here it is. I know grown men and women in the closet, the only way a teenager is going to come out to a teacher if he is way out in the open. Teaching (maybe manipulating, inspiring, or promoting) his sexuality to the students openly.
So when this guy tells an under age high school student (that has sex with older men in a bus station bathroom) hope you "knew" how to use a condom, I have concerns. His excuse, "well, teachers just weren't taught that well in those areas back then". What about common sense?? Does that register with anyone anymore? He published another book in '06 that he spoke about the same story. Neither time did he admit guilt or fault for this kids' continued molestation. Only since he has been named the "Safe School Czar" has he accepted any responsibility for letting this kid get touch time and time again.
My mother, God rest her soul (I love you, Mommy) always told me, you may not be able to judge a book by it's cover but you can judge someone by the company that they keep. People, look at No' Bama's hordes, just look at them. Look at their personalities, the people he hangs with, the people that support him!!!!
