ABC News' Teddy Davis and Lindsey Ellerson Report: Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., told Planned Parenthood Tuesday that sex education for kindergarteners, as long as it is "age-appropriate," is "the right thing to do."
"I remember Alan Keyes . . . I remember him using this in his campaign against me," Obama said in reference to the conservative firebrand who ran against him for the U.S. Senate in 2004. Sex education for kindergarteners had become an issue in his race against Keyes because of Obamas work on the issue as chairman of the health committee in the Illinois state Senate.
"'Barack Obama supports teaching sex education to kindergarteners,'" said Obama mimicking Keyes' distinctive style of speech. "Which -- I didnt know what to tell him (laughter)."
"But its the right thing to do," Obama continued, "to provide age-appropriate sex education, science-based sex education in schools."

Great catch! Keep ‘em coming!

“sex education for kindergarteners, as long as it is “age-appropriate,”
What, he’s going to allow showing them how to have it with stuffed animals?
Sex education in public schools is the wrong thing to do no matter what age the students are. It is not up to the state to educate our children on matters other the tradional subjects, such as math, history, english, civics(which they don’t want to teach). Sex education is for parents. We need to stop this BS immediately if not sooner.
“But its the right thing to do,” Obama continued, “to provide age-appropriate sex education, science-based sex education in schools.”
*Right thing to do*....implies a moral philosophy. I wonder what *moral* philosophy provides the basis for Obama’s choices? I wonder why he would choose to leave a newborn infant to die....and attempt to pass legislation to that effect?
Does this mean that storks will start appearing at show and tell sessions?
Obama thinks the nation must all be like the south side of Chicago.
Well, this will lose him a whole bunch more voters!
Hmmm... There are so many things wrong with this I don’t even know where to begin.
Hurray for the wonderful public school system. 3 cheers for indoctrination!
The “age appropriate” amount of sex education for five years olds is zero, senator. But maybe the Big O would like to “refine” this position, too.
The only way kids there would know the difference between sexes is that the girls aren’t allowed in the boys restroom. That’s how they know they’re girls and not boys. Other than that they know no distinction ....
5-year olds, 10-year olds, 15-year olds, those not yet born make no difference to BHO, they are all tools of the morality of the liberal left.
Hey Barry, what does science say about when LIFE begins?
This is about pushing the sex positive agenda. Get them to accept that there are no moral judgements to be made over any pairings regardless of sex, age, relation, marital status, number, or species of partner(s).
It is about subverting the culture and overriding the morals of the parents “what your parents say is ‘wrong’”.
But they have to read about Heather’s two mommies. So that they can accept the “normalcy” of this as they grow up.
Alan Keyes is so much better than Obama on every issue.
Sounds as though the guy with the Muslim sounding name is planning on get a little of the “young stuff” once he gets elected.
It’d be very hard to find ANY candidate at any point who is worse on all issues than Obama.
That is my point, the government has no business educating our children in anything but the basic requirements of education, and this doesn’t include sex. Personally, I think the sooner we get government out of education the better.
This is about social engineering and pushing the politically correct liberal agenda.
There is no dissent. He says he wants it to be “scientifically” based sex ed. Does that mean including unproven claims that homosexuality is “normal”?
Just let the kids be kids for their scant few years of childhood, Obama, and let them have some joyous fun of childhood first, before having to deal with real world adulthood for the rest of their lives. SHEESH !!!
Brave New World
hmmm... with books like "Sarah has TWO MOMMIES?" and "Daddy's ROOMATE"?
OBAMA, if you want to SCREW UP YOUR DAUGHTERS, be my guest, but you LIBS won't get my KIDS - they are HOMESCHOOLED!!
hard to believe, will read up later
This guy is a real piece of work and anyone who would even consider voting for him is not playing with a full deck.
Any B. HUSSEIN Obams voters lurking here? You're a moron.
Making fun of Keyes and teaching our babies filth.Not in that order.GRRRRRRRR
Please make the bad man go away
Once again... life imitates South Park.
This just proves he isn’t fit to serve. If a 46 year old man believes it is right for schools to force the topic of sex ed to pre-schoolers, he is severely mentally and morally challenged.
You don’t bring this stuff up on your own. You let parents deal with little kids questions. Most kids this young don’t care about it.
The guy is a nutball. A big, freaking, speechless-without-a-teleprompter, pot smoking nutball. I think this proves there is evidence the pot smoking damaged his brain.
Obambi stupidity ping.
Yes or Indonesia or Kenya and other Muslim countries.
Is that age-appropriate?
This guy never met a wacked-out "progressive" idea that he didn't swallow whole.
Let's keep him away from the kids.
"Heather has two Mommies" here we come!
I really wonder what these idiots are thinking of?
Great argument, but at least 45 years too late. My dad about fell over when he came to have, "the talk," and I said, "I learned that in school last year."
A very odd thing to say... there is nothing good about that statement. You want to retract that before it come back and bites you on the butt Obamalester?
I got a better idea... let's keep him away from the WH
Obamalester Alert
You, sir, have coined a new Obambi-based word. I doff my cap t’ ye.
"'Barack Obama supports teaching sex education to kindergarteners,'" said Obama mimicking Keyes' distinctive style of speech. "Which -- I didnt know what to tell him (laughter)."
This is what America is becoming: A country where those who want to corrupt kindergarteners are elevated, and those who oppose them are treated with contempt.
That’s what I meant. As president, he would have way too much influence on our children.

My question for Obama: How many black kids did your friends at Planned Parenthood butcher today?
When someone like Obama supports that, fouling the minds of small children seems mild in comparison.
You are right. There are too many frightening things about Obama to count, one worse than the next. God help us.
“I wonder why he would choose to leave a newborn infant to die....and attempt to pass legislation to that effect?”
Most people would agree that is the “wrong” thing to do.
In Obama’s world it is “right” to speak to kindergarteners about where babies come from and about inappropriate touching.
And it is “right” to leave survivors of abortions to die without medical assistance.
Check.
Check.
And remember everyone - inflate your tires and take your vehicle in for a tune up.
The messiah has spoken.
There’s very little difference today between child molesters and many of these government school indoctrination advocates.
it is a dubious honor but I accept! :)
This rotten puke is an utter disgrace. He's a cancer on this country. The only thing "appropriate" he should be running for is president of Planned Parenthood or NARAL. A match made in hell.
