The socialist state wants to end the innocence of youth as quickly as possible, then maintain everyone in a state of perpetual adolescence

The one thing you can be sure of is that children will be told to distrust their parents; if it feels good, do it; and that all forms of sex are equivalent and normal and not to be avoided. Above all, don’t be “judgemental”. The state, by usurping the role of the parent is hastening the breakdown of the family and encouraging the adolescent to look to the state for answers. IMHO

'Nobody's suggesting that kindergartners are going to be getting information about sex in the way that we think about it,' Obama said. 'If they ask a teacher 'where do babies come from,' that providing information that the fact is that it's not a stork is probably not an unhealthy thing. What ever happened to: "Ask your parents"?

Exactly! My 5 year old son starts Kindergarten in a month and in no way does he need to know about sex. He doesnt know about it now. Heck, my 9 year old 3rg grader has no clue what it is either at this point. At some point I plan to sit down and tell him about, but when he goes through puberty and starts to notice girls. I'm not going to debate whether sex-ed should be taught in the schools, but I learned where babies came from when I was 5 years old, and it didn't do me any harm. It was in a book called, "A Doctor Talks to 5 to 8 Year Olds", and basically covered pregnancy from conception to birth. Later, I learned how conception was achieved, I think when I was about 7-8. And around that same time I remember a boy playmate who was a couple of years younger than me, telling me what he learned about babies, and he had the info pretty much correct, and sounded like he was reciting from an encyclopedia. I don't think you'd be doing your sons any harm whatsoever by telling them where babies come from and how they're made. They can handle the information without becoming 'sexualized'.

Obama does not possess 1/10th the brains, character or statesman-like attributes of Alan Keyes. That Illinois elects clowns like Obama and Durbin reflects the mindless voters galore.

Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., told Planned Parenthood Tuesday that sex education for kindergarteners, as long as it is "age-appropriate," is "the right thing to do." Yep, there's a HUGE difference in five and six year olds.

I guess that’s the bonus if the child survives being in the womb of a liberal.
