I’m really starting to believe that it’s the liberal agenda so prevalent now in our schools and society that insists on teaching children, younger and younger, that any kind of sex is ok.

Yep, that is the "sex positive" agenda. And it isn't just in America. And it isn't a new trend in teaching.

They oppose abstinence not because "it doesn't work" but because they find it to be an "unhealthy" supression of sexual desires. If it feels good, do it. And they want to end all moral judgements over sexual pairings regardless of sex, age, relation, marital status, number, or species of partner(s).

I’m glad he said this, it reminds me of why we homeschool our kids and why liberals are evil.

In our state, HIV awareness as part of the health curriculum is required in all grades K - 12. Parents are allowed to opt their kids out of the presentation if they want to. I flipped out when I learned this and opted my child out.

Luckily, we live in a rural area where the school system is pretty in tune with the values of the parents. I got a call from the teacher letting me know it wasn’t as bad as it sounded. Basically, for the kindergarten they talked about germs and washing their hands.

So, I let my daughter attend and their “HIV Awareness Curriculum” consisted of talking about how important it is to cover your mouth when you cough/sneeze because of germs. Then they colored a picture of an alligator and glued a Kleenex to the end of his nose.

Not nearly as salacious as it sounds.

When they move on from basic hygiene to “sex ed,” my child will be opted out.

"...it must be amazing that the human race was able to reproduce itself before sex-education...

Greg, really! Do you think sex-ed is about reproducing?! Where you been hiding? It's about deconstructing gender. For a generation of trannies.

On behalf of my fellow citizens here in the State of Illinois, we are sorry about Obama.

There were just too many Dem. votes in Chicago.

They do set themselves impossible tasks don't they? Your average two year old girl shuns boys toys and wants princess stories . . .

Oh, for sure. Little children are resolute little conservatives. That's why you have to start YOUNG if you're going to deconstruct gender.

Teacher: "People don't have to be boys or girls. A family doesn't need a mother and father. A family can be anything you want. Two dads. Three moms. No dads. Greg and Jason. You can be anything you want." (Three-year-old: "Oh! Can I be a boat?" Teacher: "Uhhh.. no.")

Isn't that special?

Its always difficult to pin down what a Dem really thinks.

This article leaves the impression that all Obama wants is to let teachers tell kids babies don’t come from storks, if the kids should ask.

That’s a cool map. I assume that it shows population and Republican/Democrat voting patterns? You have a link to the site?

Age appropriate sex-ed for kindergarteners? I can’t say I’m surprised, just saddened. Childhood, prepubescent years should be free of sexualization, but he advocates we sexualize them at such a young age? Aren’t we as a culture already sex-saturated enough? Do we need to share the ‘joy’ with the youngest, most innocent among us? And the scarier part - who decides what is ‘age appropriate’ and what the content is? Shudder.
