His DL tells nothing about when the incident occurred. It seems Jennings thought the kid was 15 at the time - he said so:

I said, “What were you doing in Boston on a school night, Brewster?” He got very quiet, and he finally looked at me and said, “Well I met somebody in the bus station bathroom and I went home with him.” High school sophomore, 15 years old. That was the only way he knew how to meet gay people.

It doesn't say his age.....it simply says 1987. It was Jenning's first year of teaching so we're talking after school started in September. According to the guy's license, he turned sixteen in July. From your link:

"I remember Brewster, a sophomore boy who I came to know in 1987, my first year of teaching at Concord Academy, in Concord, Massachusetts. Brewster was a charming but troubled kid. His grades didn’t match up with his potential, his attendance could be irregular, and he often seemed a little out of it. He was clearly using some substance regularly, and was not very happy with himself. But I didn’t have a clue as to why—at least not at first."

a quick look at its Amazon page suggests it encourages the discussion of homosexual relationships in school.

I don't think thats appropriate for elementary schools. As do most people.

Hetrosexual relationships are discussed in elementary school. Why can't gay ones be discussed as well?
