Obama and sex education for kindergarteners--UPDATE

You may have heard, but Barack Obama has long supported sex education for kindergarteners (link).

And I hope you'll forgive me for not implicitly trusting the most liberal person in the U.S. Senate (not to mention Planned Promiscuity Federation of America ©) to define "age-appropriate" and "explicit."


Incidentally, the Bill-that-Obama-Wishes-He'd-Voted-"Present"-On has this language:
"Factual information" includes without limitation
30 medical, psychiatric, psychological, empirical, and
31 statistical statements.

-2- LRB093 05269 NHT 05359 b
1 "Medically accurate" means verified or supported by
2 research conducted in compliance with scientific methods,
3 published in peer-review journals, where appropriate, and
4 recognized as accurate and objective by professional
5 organizations and agencies with expertise in the relevant
6 field.

(emphasis added) We know who those "organizations and agencies" are, don't we?

So, basically, you are saying its wrong for teachers to explain to kids what to do if someone tries to touch them inappropriately?

Why do you support child molesters? [Damn, I need a job with the McCain campaign.]
