"Kevin Jennings, President Obama's Assistant Deputy Secretary of the Office of Safe and Drug Free Schools at the U.S. Department of Education, is in hot water this week for having failed to report that a 15-year-old sophomore student in his school had told him of having sex with an older man.
But failure to report what appeared to be a case of statuatory rape of a child may be the least of Jennings' worries. Lori Roman of Regular Folks United points to statements by Jennings a decade or more ago when he praised Harry Hay of the North American Association for Man-Boy Love Association (NAMBLA), which promotes the legalization of sexual abuse of young boys by older men.
Roman provides damning details and links here.
She also notes that Jennings wrote the forward 'to a book called Queering Elementary Education.'"
It is worth noting that both NAMBLA and STRATFOR have their headquarters in Austin, TX.
Now about the "bawl of whacks" email from Stratfor's Matthew Solomon to Megan Headley. At first I didn't even consider the obviously ominous connotation of the word "whacks" (as in hit, or murder for hire) in the email because it was simply TOO obvious. Would anyone connected to the CIA and national intelligence really send an attached file of "whacks" (a very long list of people world-wide) through a potentially insecure server? Here's the email on Wikileaks:

Is there an investigator that can confirm people are still alive? It couldn't really be a hit list, could it? No way.

This smear of Kevin Jennings fell apart years ago.
Harry Hay is not associated with NAMBLA. Harry Hay formed a gay rights group in the late 40's.
They falsely accused Kevin Jennings of a bunch of stuff. Like the charge above they fell apart because they were false and he went on to serve in the Department of Education.

Haven't brushed up on Kevin Jennings, but on Harry Hay:
"He nevertheless remained highly critical of the mainstream gay rights movement. Hay joined several other early gay rights activists in protesting the exclusion of the North American Man/Boy Love Association (NAMBLA) from participation in LGBT social movements, most noticeably pride parades on the grounds that such exclusions pandered to heterosexual-dominated society.[102] When questioned on his support for NAMBLA in a 1983 New York University forum, he remarked "If the parents and friends of gays are truly friends of gays, they would know from their gay kids that the relationship with an older man is precisely what thirteen-, fourteen-, and fifteen-year-old kids need more than anything else in the world", highlighting his own relationship with an adult man when he was 14.[175] At the 1986 Los Angeles Gay Pride Parade he courted controversy by carrying a banner with "NAMBLA Walks With Me" written on it, after organizers banned the group from joining the march; the organisers complained to police and he narrowly avoided arrest.[176]"

Thanks. So he supported them, but was not a member, but my "is not associated with" is too far.
Among the other things they said about Jennings was that he didn't report that an underage student told him he had sex with an older man. The student came forward and said he was above the age of consent and he never had sex with the man, he had a conversation with him and then told Jennings about it. Jennings appointment went forward.
Also, today I learned that Harry Hay had an affair with the actor who later played Grampa Walton.
