Here is the full text of the letter:

December 16th, 2009

Dear Senator,

The protection of children is one goal that we can all agree on.

And presumably, it is the motivating mission behind the Department of Education's Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools.  But the innocence of our children is threatened by the appointment of Kevin Jennings as Deputy Assistant Secretary of that office.  Through his actions and statements, Mr. Jennings has shown that he cannot be trusted with this position and should be removed from it as soon as possible.

As head of the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), Mr. Jennings is on record as promoting liberal sex education and homosexual themes to children as early as Kindergarten. 

Now, additional information comes to light regarding Mr. Jenning’s association with GLSEN “Fistgate” Conferences, encouraging extreme sexual practices in children as young as 14.  After objections were raised to that matter, Mr. Jennings announced that GLSEN presentations and presenters would be more closely monitored.  But then, the following such conference included the handing out of “Fisting Kits” to children. The descriptions of the use of these kits are beyond imagination.  To endorse this behavior, much less promote it, is unforgivable. 

Kevin Jennings must not be allowed to continue to endanger our children.

The undersigned individuals and organizations ask the Senate Education Committee, its members and every individual Senator to demand Kevin Jennings’ resignation immediately. Our children must be protected from the extreme and dangerous practices advocated by Kevin Jennings and the organizations he has represented.

Respectfully,

Andy Blom
