I’m not really up for dissemination at the moment, but I’m happy to endefecate it.

> Here’s a little more information. Please consider the source when you see how sensationally it is being reported ([Fistgate](http://biggovernment.com/2009/12/10/fistgate-v-youth-fisting-instructor-claims-kevin-jennings-knew-about-class-content-in-advance/):rolleyes:). However it sure makes for interesting reading. Check some of the other articles in this “scandal” and you’ll see that he is either Chester the Molester or else has been associating with some people with questionable thought processes.

If “he” is Jennings, then I don’t agree at all.

Obviously the woman who was fired has a motive to claim her superiors knew what she was doing, but even that claim doesn’t reach Jennings – that is, her bosses may have known, but did THEIR bosses, all the way up the chain?

Apart from some insubstantial “buck stops here” sort of claim that the Executive Director of an organization must magically know or be personally responsible for any damn fool thing any idiot in it does… where is the specific evidence that Jennings did something - anything - wrong here?
