Family Security Matters » Publications » Exclusive: Sexually Explicit Books in the Classroom? Ask the ‘Safe Schools’ Czar: "Late last week, Jim Hoft at Gateway Pundit helped break the news that Kevin Jennings, the Safe Schools czar, is promoting sexually explicit books for classroom use. Scott Baker, co-founder of Breitbart.tv and co-host of the B-Cast, reports:

GLSEN’s stated mission is to empower gay youth in the schools and to stop harassment by other students. It encourages the formation of Gay Student Alliances and condemns the use of hateful words. GLSEN also strives to influence the educational curriculum
to include materials which the group believes will increase tolerance of gay students and decrease bullying. To that end, GLSEN maintains a recommended reading list of books that it claims “furthers our mission to ensure safe schools for all students.” In other words, these are the books that GLSEN’s directors think all kids should be reading: gay kids should read them to raise their self-esteem, and straight kids should read them in order to become more aware and tolerant and stop bullying gay kids. Through GLSEN’s online ordering system, called “GLSEN BookLink,” featured prominently on their Web site, teachers can buy the books to use as required classroom assignments, or students can buy them to read on their own."
