So do I. (Sigh.)
When my kids were in kindergarten, they had no concept about sex. They knew they came "from mommy's stomach" but they had no knowledge of or interest in how they got there. When the subject did come up later, my wife and I were perfectly capable of dealing with it within the context of our own experience and values.
I don't know which is worse: the shrill, strident statists who are very clear about wanting to shape us according to their will, or the smooth, calm "don't worry, we'll take care of everything" types like Obama. I'm thinking it's Obama, because his style works best on that "sucker born every minute." I don't know if it's arrogance on his part, or if he considers that since he managed to get enough people who were stupid enough to vote for him, that we all must be stupid; but I can assure him that good parents provide more than just the sperm and the egg and the tax money, and are perfectly capable of raising their childen without his assistance.
That's likely because most of the sex education that HAS been presented to the kids has been 'values neutral' and teachers are not telling them that early sexual activity can be not only dangerous to their health, but also their well-being. All they hear is that if you get pregnant, abortion is legal, and you have every right to get rid of the problem, so no worries.

Explaining sexual intercourse to kindergarteners - isn’t that like child porn?
What have we come to when politicians are actual seeking to push sex upon kindergarteners?
Why should there be any innocence in a child’s life?
The grade school in my upstairs spare bedroom hasn’t gotten into this yet. We also don’t take cues for what needs to be done from the govco schools either.
That’s what I like to see, a person who would be simply devastating for this nation but whom is running for President, shoot themselves in the foot! What an immoral and foolish statement to make. My goodness are there any moderate Democrats anymore? That seemed like something the RINO Julie Annie would say. You know all the other Democrats are thinking the same thing, but I believe they’re smarter than to expose their true intentions. This made my day!
Some should ask Shrillery! what her stance is on this issue. In chess, they would call it a fork, right?
Whats next? One of the other donk candidates going to try to one-up Obama and claim they favor sex-ed for pre-schoolers?
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.
There were just too many Dem. votes in Chicago.
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.
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.
I want to puke! He can't have it both ways. Notice when he suddenly starts to think about his own children then there is more that comes into play. Abstinence will solve the problems he lists but is too blind to comprehend....or should I say, whatever his payoff from PP was for his campaign spoke louder than anything else?! I would bet that a check into campaign finances would show he had money coming in from PP, NARAL, and others. SO, if that is the case...they probably backing him with this race as well, and money talks when it comes to politicians with no backbone for ethics and morals.
Not at all suprised that they want to take hold of our children at earlier ages. It is the same reason for the push to mandate pre-school at 3 yr old! Get their minds while they are small. Does anyone know the quote from Hitler? "Give me a child".....? How does it go?
He is a sicko a real pig.
They don't seem to have a problem finding the abortion clinics.
It just affirms one thing for me...I don't care if I end up having to work a second job...there is NO WAY my kids are EVER going to set foot in a public school.
So this dip-sh!+ is done. Now how do we focus on beating back Hillary-Edwards?
