Kevin Jennings’ Organization Recommends Porn Lit for Kids

Gateway Pundit publishes the work of an unnamed group of researchers:

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.

[...]

Out of curiosity to see exactly what kind of books Kevin Jennings and his organization think American students should be reading in school, our team chose a handful at random from the over 100 titles on GLSEN’s grades 7-12 list, and began reading through.

What we discovered shocked us. We were flabbergasted. Rendered speechless.

We were unprepared for what we encountered. Book after book after book contained stories and anecdotes that weren’t merely X-rated and pornographic, but which featured explicit descriptions of sex acts between pre-schoolers; stories that seemed to promote and recommend child-adult sexual relationships; stories of public masturbation, anal sex in restrooms, affairs between students and teachers, five-year-olds playing sex games, semen flying through the air. One memoir even praised becoming a prostitute as a way to increase one’s self-esteem. Above all, the books seemed to have less to do with promoting tolerance than with an unabashed attempt to indoctrinate students into a hyper-sexualized worldview.

If you want to read some choice excerpts for yourself, follow the link. That’s part I, part II is here.

What’s most offensive here is that these books often seem to feature the author’s remembrances of kids as young as kindergarten engaging in gay sex with other kids. In other words, these aren’t even just gay coming of age stories for teens, these are stories about six year olds having sex with classmates. Be warned the content is X-Rated (and yet somehow still suitable for 7th graders).

Finally, just a reminder that we’ve written about Jennings as well including this post on questionable GLSTEN materials and this one where Jennings identifies “manhood” as the most serious threat to school kids.
