Office of Safe and Drug-Free Schools chief Kevin Jennings wrote in an op-ed for Bay Windows (3/23), "We can't wait for it to get better for LGBT kids -- we need to make it better right now. By convening the first-ever White House Conference on Bullying and hosting it personally in the East Room of the White House, the President and the First Lady made the strongest statement possible that they believe the moment for bullying to end has arrived and that they are putting themselves and our entire Administration on the front lines of this fight." According to Jennings, "As someone who spent more than two decades fighting this battle before I joined this Administration, I watched in awe as the combined leadership of the Obama Presidency sent a clear and unequivocal message: We can't wait for it to get better for LGBT kids -- we need to make it better right now." The Windy City Times (3/23) also ran Jennings' op-ed.
