Anti-Gay Group Fighting Obama’s Choice

The Family Research Council has started hitting hard on their campaign against Kevin Jennings, an Obama Administration appointee, claiming he should not be in the position he is with the Department of Education because…well, because he’s gay, even though they claim their objections come from his previous position in private activism, as he is the former executive director of GLSEN, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network…or again, because he’s gay.

Jennings is scheduled to begin working with the Dept. of Ed on Monday as the Assistant Deputy Secretary of Education for the Department’s Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools.

This week however, the anti-gay FRC launched a last-minute Web promotion and petition in an effort to oppose his appointment.
