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 Obama’s 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 didn’t know what to tell him (laughter)."

"But it’s the right thing to do," Obama continued, "to provide age-appropriate sex education, science-based sex education in schools."

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”?

"But it’s the right liberal thing to do," Obama continued, "to provide indoctrinate age-appropriate sex policially correct education, science confusion-based sex pre-pubescent education in schools."

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 !!!

This from the same idiot whose energy plan consists of telling drivers to inflate their tires and get a tune up to cure the energy crisis.

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

"sex education for kindergarteners, as long as it is "age-appropriate," is "the right thing to do." "

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.

[BARLF]

Yes or Indonesia or Kenya and other Muslim countries.

[firebrand]

Like in Auntie Mame? The little girl fishies run around the classroom laying the eggs, and then . . .

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.

"But it’s the right thing to do," Obama continued, "to provide age-appropriate sex education, science-based sex education in schools."

"Heather has two Mommies" here we come!

[SledgeCS]

Why is it that every time I hear of the NEED to educate Kindergartners about sex all I can think of is Butters from South Park?

I really wonder what these idiots are thinking of?

[j_tull]

Sex education in public schools is the wrong thing to do

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."

[John123]

sex education for kindergarteners, as long as it is "age-appropriate," is "the right thing to do.

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?

[John123]

Let's keep him away from the kids.

I got a better idea... let's keep him away from the WH
