What's The Deal With Obama Wanting to Teach Sex Ed To Kindergardeners?

What's The Deal With Obama Wanting to Teach Sex Ed To Kindergardeners?The bill in question was Senate Bill 99, introduced in the Senate in February 2003. Its broad purpose was to change and update portions of Illinois's existing laws concerning sex education. (The text of the bill is here, and everyone interested in the issue should take a look at it.)

When the bill was introduced, a coalition of groups including the Illinois Public Health Association, the Illinois State Medical Society, the Cook County Department of Public Health, the Chicago Department of Public Health, the Illinois Planned Parenthood Council and others issued a press release headlined "Coalition of Legislators, Physicians and Organizations Bring Illinois Into the 21st Century with Omnibus Healthcare Package." It was a three-part campaign; Senate Bill 99, covering "medically accurate sex education," was the first part, with two other bills addressing "funding for family planning services for women in need" and "contraceptive equity in health insurance."

According to the press release, Senate Bill 99 required that "if a public school teaches sex education, family life education, and comprehensive health education courses, all materials and instruction must be medically and factually accurate." The bill's main sponsor, Sen. Carol Ronen, was quoted saying, "It teaches students about the advantages of abstinence, while also giving them the realistic information they need about the prevention of an unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections." The release contained no mention of sexual predators or inappropriate touching.

The idea of teaching sex ed to kindergardeners is so, so sick. It is wrong in so many ways. A five year old should have no idea what sex is.

as a father of 5 I have to say I'm disappointed with John Mccain for talking about this in the first place. This is nothing more than a nasty smear tactic

OH my fuc.............
You know why McCain lets stupid stuff like that get on commercials? Because he knows that his followers, like you, hear buzzwords and chew on them. You don't research it
and find out the truth, or your not sane enough to be able to
see through a lie. He doesn't think too much of you actually.
He's gonna throw you under a bus. You watch.
