In the latest in a long line of smears conservative media figures have hurled at Department on Education staffer Kevin Jennings, Scott Baker of Breitbart-tv.com takes to the blog Gateway Pundit today to claim that Jennings' organization, the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), recommended books to students which include explicit sexual passages. Baker states that the information comes from “team of independent researchers that I have known for some time and have come to trust.” Baker goes on to falsely claim that “these are the books that GLSEN's directors think all kids should be reading.”

Somehow, Baker missed the following note at the bottom of the GLSEN BookLink website, in bold red type, recommending that adults review the books before adolescents read them:

All BookLink items are reviewed by GLSEN staff for quality and appropriateness of content. However, some titles for adolescent readers contain mature themes. We recommend that adults selecting books for youth review content for suitability. The editorial and customer reviews listed at Amazon.com often provide information on mature content.

CORRECTION: Buried in the 13th paragraph of his post, Baker does acknowledge that “GLSEN does advise adults to 'review content for suitability.'” He does not acknowledge that this undermines his entire point.
