WaPo: 'Is McCain Against Teaching Little Kids to Beware of Sexual Predators?'

Teaching kids not to take candy from strangers, or to let anyone touch them where there underwear covers isn’t “sex education.”

I will digress from the main topic to tell you that you are incorrect. Most predators are related to the child, or have a close relationship with the family. So Stranger Danger is an incomplete message and may actually thwart your child’s ability to find help from a “safe” stranger if separated from you in public. Read “Protecting the Gift” by Gavin De Becker for a good inroduction.

Children need to be well-informed by their parents/guardians, not by Government Schools.

McCain has repeatedly stated he is against allowing homosexuals to adopt children.

“Children need to be well-informed by their parents/guardians, not by Government Schools.”

Oh, I can tell you first hand that I am not uninformed on this matter.

I do agree with you that we don't need schools to teach our children about inappropriate behavior among adults.

Bottom line don't leave your children with just anyone. Common sense and intuition go a long way!

Our daughter is now 13. So far so good. I won't rest till she's 45 or I'm dead.

Have you seen this new ad by McCain? Education - I like it.

Does his lil childrens already know about the birds and the bees or do they just know not to marry whitey?

Well their dad doesn't want them punished with a baby, so I'd guess - Yes.
