THanks, I don't want teachers telling my 5 year old about sex. Nor do I think it's necessary to teach 5 year olds about sex in order to teach them about predators.
Once again, it's about sexualizing children.
A McCain-Palin campaign ad claims Obama's "one accomplishment" in the area of education was "legislation to teach 'comprehensive sex education' to kindergarteners." But the claim is simply false, and it dates back to Alan Keyes' failed race against Obama for an open Senate seat in 2004.
Obama, contrary to the ad's insinuation, does not support explicit sex education for kindergarteners. And the bill, which would have allowed only "age appropriate" material and a no-questions-asked opt-out policy for parents, was not his accomplishment to claim in any case, since he was not even a cosponsor and the bill never left the state Senate.
In addition, the ad quotes unflattering assessments of the Illinois senator's record on education but leaves out sometimes equally harsh criticism directed at McCain in the same forums.
"Explicit sex education".
I didn't say I didn't want explicit sex education. I said I don't want sex education, period, because it has no place in the curriculum of a 5-year-old. And it doesn't, nor is it necessary to have "sex education" to protect children from predators.
That's as off-base as the "if we don't have abortions, all those babies will turn into criminals" argument. Abortions have nothing to do with criminality. And sex ed has nothing to do with teaching kids to avoid predators.
Yes Allie, IT IS Necessary for young children to know about predators and what good touch/bad touch is.
Have you ever had a young child come to you and tell you their big brother touches them "places" and even goes after their baby sister?
Have you ever had a little girl tell you her 'privates' are bleeding because of mommy's boyfriend?
Well, I have. They knew that I, as a teacher, was trustworthy and they could come to me. They learned that IN SCHOOL.
Actually, yes, I have, I've worked in juvenile detention and residential treatment. YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE SEX ED in order to teach 5 year olds about predators. Period.
Sex education for a 5 year old teaches them to report inappropriate touching, especially from adults.
You seem to make an awful lot of extremely wild assumptions about what will be taught to children at which age.
Your statement that liberals protect child rapists is also plain ludicriuos. Are you drunk or what?
Where did you take your 5 year old for sex ed ?
Where the libs here are failing in the argument is not in the wording of the bill BUT in the curriculum that is being supported...

Funny to have a unit on masturbation for a 5 year old before they are even required to be able to READ
Try and look at the whole picture, people....
Oh. My. God.
Bush voters are opposed to teachers spending a couple hours a year, telling children how to recognize and avoid sexual predators.
The private Catholic school that I send my sons to teaches age appropriate sex education starting in the kindergarten.
One of the reasons why private schools are worth it: Idiot conservatives keep blocking the modernization of the curriculum in public schools.
Private schools teach what is best for the kids which is usually alot more progressive than public schools. That's how they stay competitive.
Too bad libs run the public school system and fight voucher proposals.The private Catholic school that I send my sons to teaches age appropriate sex education starting in the kindergarten.

Do you know which Mark Foley I speak of?
