"What is called "sex education," whether for kindergartners or older children, is not education about biology but indoctrination in values that go against the traditional values that children learn in their families and in their communities.

"Obviously, the earlier this indoctrination begins, the better its chances of overriding traditional values. The question is not how urgently children in kindergarten need to be taught about sex but how important it is for indoctrinators to get an early start."

Thomas Sowell is always a steady head amidst a sea of confusion and disinformation.
My sister-in-law was on a school board in Illinois when the unfunded mandate of this law was passed. In her opinion one of the worst aspects of the law was the implication of the law that girls are always victims and guys are always the aggressors. She has recently emailed me the entire law....and there has been no embellishment by the McCain campaign in what the law mandated.

Because one of the biggest and realest of all issues is the outlook and character of the President of the United States.

This needs to be repeated every time Obama and his followers try to brush aside questions about his past involvement with questionable characters.

Right on! Once again, Sowell provides persuasive and communicable talking points to be applied to fence sitters and even the “children” lulled by the siren song of the pied piper.

Obama must be stopped!

Thomas Sowell: The arrogance of third parties, who take it upon themselves to treat other people's children as a captive audience to brainwash with politically correct notions, while taking no responsibility for the consequences to those children or society, is part of the general vision of the left that pervades our education system.

The bolded serves to exemplify Democrats in re the Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac scam -- the monies grifted were given to Democrats in huge numbers; the consequences to the public be damned. And the monies below is just from Lehman Brothers, I've not listed all the other "corrupt" orgs who basically stold from the public via CRA and gave to "their politicians". This is a RACKET!

From AmericanThinker - Democrats Attack their Benefactor:

--snip

It turns out Richard Fuld of Lehman Brothers gave $151,300 in disclosed political donations in recent years . How does it break down?

* $45,000 to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee.
* $10,000 to the Democratic National Committee Services Corp.
* $4,600 to Hillary Clinton, $4,600 to Chris Dodd and $2,300 to Barack Obama.
* Other contributions to Democrats: Dick Gephardt, Joe Lieberman, Jack Reed, Erskine Bowles, Joseph Driscoll, Nita Lowey, Bob Torricelli, Frank Lautenberg, Brendan Byrne, Jon Corzine, Bill Bradley, Chuck Schumer, Ted Kennedy, Ed Markey, and Dianne Feinstein.

---end snip

Again, quoting Thomas Sowell: while taking no responsibility for the consequences to those children or society

The old phrase, "a man of high ideals but no principles," is one that applies all too painfully to Barack Obama today. His words expressing lofty ideals may appeal to the gullible but his long history of having no principles makes him a danger of the first magnitude in the White House.

Sowell rules.
