Obama Supports Sex Ed for Kindergarten Students

It's somewhat amusing that the same people who don't support sex education are the same ones who don't support abortion.

Ignorance at its finest.

I must admit that I was generalizing just a bit.

Or were you referring to the ignorance of others?

It's not as if Obama supports the complete, graphic explanation that kids will get as they age, that obviously wouldn't be "age appropriate". What I believe he is saying is that teachers should be able to give young ones a more accurate answer than simply giving them the story of the stork, which is pretty laughable these days.

What would the teacher say to the student? Who knows, it would depends on the teacher of course; I would probably respond with "Well...that's something that you may want to ask your parents".

Also parents would be able to have a choice of what their children learn. Where I went to school the parents were invited to preview the sex ed. classes to see if that's what they wanted their child to learn. If not, parents were allowed to allow their children to go to the library instead of participate in the class. I believe what Obama was talking about would be something similar.

It seems that kids really are growing up faster than they used to these days. I'd much rather educate them on these things than have to deal with the mistakes later.

Or we could work to correct why children are considered "grown up" when it comes to sex by second grade. I think there is something wrong with that.

What's your plan to do that?

Well, it's stuff like these sex ed courses reaching into the lower grades. We can start by ending that at such a young age.

Sex education causes kids to become sexually active?

If they're going to be receiving the information any way I'd rather have them receive information that is accurate; instead of what they saw on the movie their mom and dad were watching that night or what little Jimmy told them his brother told him on the school bus.

Half of the kids in these classes might not have heard anything though. Bringing in sex ed at such a young age then brings it to everyone and I don't think that's appropriate at such an age.

See here...

I just don't agree with the mentality of "well they'll hear it anyway so let's just let them know now."

That may be where the disagreement stems from.
