Kevin Jennings, founder of GLSEN, has faced criticism for his views and writings. He institutionalized that any pushback by parents, students, or the public is bullying, which is now federal policy. Jennings has been appointed to various organizations, including the Arcus Foundation and Lambda Legal. Some believe his influence has led to the promotion of Queer Theory in schools and the push to make sure students know their teachers' sexual orientation. Critics argue that teachers, activists, and administrators are proselytizers, not educators.

So to be clear. He institutionalized that any pushback by parents, students, the public, voters, etc. is bullying (which now means "hate") into federal policy making.
