Barack Obama Wants Sex Education in Kindergarten
In the video above Barack Obama played the blame game, by blaming John McCain for saying Obama advocates teaching sex education in Kindergarten. Then Obama goes on to say he actually does advocate teaching sex education in Kindergarten.
obama says teaching sex education in Kindergarten "is the right thing to do." I would like to hear Obama’s rationale for this position, but no one in the media has been allowed to ask him to explain himself, so we are left to posting these videos instead.
When McCain said Obama advocates teaching sex education in Kindergarten, McCain was speaking the truth, so why was Obama whining that McCain was saying something that was true?
In the video Mitt Romney confirms Obama advocacy of teaching sex education in Kindergarten.
I only learned about this today. Five year-olds haven’t even hit puberty yet, so why would they need sex education?
In the video below Obama says that a young mother having a baby is "punishment." Obama said:
"I have two daughters, 9 years-old and 6 years-old. I’m going to teach them first of all about values and morals, but if they make a mistake I don’t want them punished with a baby. I don’t want them punished with, ah, an STD at the age of 16."
Having a baby is not punishment. That is the wrong message to send young mothers. The baby certainly shouldn’t be told they were born to punish their mother. Although Obama may not have meant to send that exact message, he did, because he lacks the experience to speak more carefully about sensitive topics like this. Obama has frequently made mistakes like this when he is not reading from a teleprompter.
Perhaps at the Presidential debates we’ll finally hear Obama answer questions about his statements, and finally explain his rationale for these statements.

There is nothing wrong with teaching AGE APPROPRIATE sex eduation to children at all ages. Obama voted yes on a bill that would allow kids to be taught about “good touch” and “bad touch”, not about the act of having sex. This bill advocates teaching children what to do if they are approached by a pedophile, don’t you think that is important. The bill also gave parents the right to opt out if they felt that the information was something they didn’t want their children to have. The bill was not teaching comprehensive sex education to children, but teaching medically accurate information to everyone.
Ignorance is not bliss, in fact it often leads to 17 year old unwed mothers.

Do you have a link to the article where you got this information? We would like to add it to the article if it is age appropriate.
Sex ed belongs at home, I didn’t learn anything from it at age 16 and I don’t think my 5 year old is going to learn anything from it in Kindergarten.
I am sick of the dems teaching kids morals…
Let Hussein deal with his own moral issues (help his only 1/2 brother)!! He shouldn’t deem a teen pregnancy as a punishment either, that is offensive.
thanks

(error on my part, it’s a different education speech, but the gist still gets there. Anyway, thanks for letting the link in)
This is absolutely ridiculous. Teaching 5 year old about sex? The curriculum and standards of our schools are questionable to begin with, and it is debated as to whether or not high schoolers should even be taught sex ed. Just because children are abused and mistreated does not give anyone the right, especially not our schools which are supposed to be serving as places of safeyu and comfort, to take away the innocence of our young children. Rather, that innocence should be cherished and not erased by the ignorant reforms and plans of those like Barack Obama. I think that if Obama is elected, those who support him will be sadly disappointed with who he really is within time.
We already do this.
“Don’t talk to strangers” we say.
“Look both ways before you cross the street” we say.
“Never take presents from someone you don’t know” we say.
Part of raising a child is educating them about the dangers of the world that they can influence. “Terrorists could kill you” isn’t the same thing, because that’s not something they can control. However, “Billy, don’t open mail if there’s no address in this spot, okay?” will help protect your kids from anthrax without “corrupting their innocence,” and letting a kid know that it’s okay to tell an adult not to touch them inappropriately seems a logical next step.
I’m only in my twenties, so it’s probably easier for me, but I remember being young and being confused about that stuff. My parents didn’t feel comfortable talking about it, so my “innocence” was protected right up until it bit me. Fortunately, for me, that took the form of embarrassment and peer abuse, rather than rape or incest, but I don’t remember it being particularly pleasant nonetheless.
Should we corrupt the innocence to ready them for the worst case scenario? Maybe we should make them aware of all the ways they could be murdered if someone decides to kill them. Maybe we should make them aware that if someone decides they hate our country they might try to fly a plane into a building. This is absolutely absurd.
What would make sense is to teach kids about their gut instincts. That sometimes you can have a funny feeling that you shouldnt do something because it isn’t right and that it’s important to trust that. Young kids are smart and intuitive. Sex education is a serious case of TMI!!
this is stupid. you are attacking obama for reasons that i dont think you fully understand. you are pitiful.
I was abused for 8 years. do you think that was okay?
It wasn’t until someone told me about sex and abuse and rape that i understood what had happened.
No I don’t think that sex ed should be tought in schools to kindergartners, but i see nothing wrong with parents telling their children about it themselves.
Further more, how do i know that you just dont like obama and are using this as a way to find fault in him?
Well i have news for you. Obama is change. Change that this country needs dearly. And if you cant accept that, then that’s just too bad.
have a nice day~ jane

Now that you’ve gotten that off your chest, I hope you have a nice day too.
Thats right HG, go against the grain and liberal hollywood! You are going to get more and more viewers to your site! Way to balance it out!
Please provide a clip with Obama’s actual words stating that he wants sex education for 4-5 year olds. Not part of a clip of Obama talking about what a potential Republican opponent says. Here’s another nugget for thought. I think sex-ed should be taught at home by loving parents (I don’t think anyone would dispute that). However, seeing that many parents don’t talk to young children about inappropriate touching et al, is it appropriate for children to be educated as such in school by trained teachers? Is it appropriate for kids 4-5 to know that people should not touch their naughty bits? Would it decrease the number of per capita incest or rape cases in Alaska?
***HG says***
How liberal of you to mention Alaska. The video clip provided shows Obama clearly saying educating young children “is the right thing to do,” but of course you can’t accept what you hear or see.
There are family members, and strangers, that talk to 4 and 5 year-olds about sex. Those people are called pedophiles. Teaching children about sex isn’t going to stop pedophiles from committing their crimes.
Don’t make excuses for Obama, or try to divert attention from his advocacy of sex ed for 5 year-olds. Just tell us if you agree with his sex ed policy.
