FACTS verified. I was RIGHT....sex ed to Kindergarteners was TRUE

read the bill, especially line 14, and judge for yourself.
Now, read this excellent article in National Review Online by Byron York, who interviewed one of the bill’s sponsors.

After reading the bill and York’s article, it’s hard to disagree with York’s conclusion:
“[T]he bill’s intention was to mandate sex education, especially concerning contraception and the prevention of sexually-transmitted diseases, for children before the sixth grade and as early as kindergarten. Obama’s defenders may howl, but the bill is what it is.”

The facts speak for themselves no matter what Obama supporters say........see my articles from Sept 11 and Sept 12 in archives!!!!!

UPDATE: SEX ED AND KINDERGARTENERS

Obama's new ads attack McCain as being against protecting children by not being willing to address issues of sexual predators in sex education. These ads are in response to McCain's ads disclosing that Obama voted YES to teach sexual education to kindergarteners.

The actual Senate bill 0099 states : "Each class or course in comprehensive sex education offered in any of grades K, six through 12; shall include instructions on the prevention of sexually transmitted infections including the prevention, transmission, and spread of HIV. Nothing in this section prohibits instruction in sanitation, hygiene, or traditional courses in biology."

It is to be noted that NOTHING in the bill mentions, promotes, or advocates the issue of sexual predators, which could be taught in regards to child safety separate from SEX EDUCATION.

Recent ads had addressed the issue that Obama voted for sexual education to be taught to kindergarteners (all k-12) and opponents believed this should be a parental choice. The original legislation has been for 6-12, but was changed. Obama voted YES (a time he actually voted for something) to the changes.

As expected, Obama's campaign has chosen to distort his OWN FACTS. His original comments were addressed to PLANNED PARENTHOOD, which the average, intelligent person will realize has NOTHING TO DO WITH PROTECTING CHILDREN FROM PREDATORS. Planned Parenthood deals with pregnancy prevention, abortions, and birth control... NOT SEXUAL PREDATORS, unless we are going to teach children to protect themselves from sexually transmitted diseases from sexual predators.

JUST THE FACTS.

AS A PARENT: One of my children I allowed to go through the sex education curriculum and I opted out of the second one because: my oldest daughter was taught about bestiality, inappropriate information (TMI) regarding homosexuality, and other graphic sexual information about positions, toys, etc. I was stunned. I am fairly open minded, but the line was crossed and I would not subject my next child to that. It really comes down to parental choice. PERIOD.

SEX ED to KINDERGARTENERS--the facts please

You will see ads from McCain on Obama approving the teaching of sex education to kindergarteners. Obama's campaign and his suppporters will tell you these are total lies and fabrications. So, what are the facts?

At a Planned Parenthood Event in 2007, on November 20th, Obama spoke at a Planned Parenthood event, and he said this about Alan Keyes, who was his opponent in the Senate race in 2004.

OBAMA: "I remember him, uh, using this in his campaign against me, saying, "Barack Obama supports teaching sex education to kindergarteners." (laughter) And, you know, which -- I didn't know what to tell him. But it's the right thing to do."

So from OBAMA'S own lips, on video, in front of an audience we have OBAMA stating the SEX EDUCATION to KINDERGARTENERS is the RIGHT THING TO DO.

Here is more: " the actual bill in Illinois that Obama voted for that proscribes "comprehensive sex education" taught in grades K, six through 12. Here is the excerpt: "Each class or course in comprehensive sex education offered in any of grades K, six through 12; shall include instructions on the prevention of sexually transmitted infections including the prevention, transmission, and spread of HIV. Nothing in this section prohibits instruction in sanitation, hygiene, or traditional courses in biology."

"Steve Gilbert at the Sweetness&Light.com blog has found the original text here of the legislation. It was Illinois General Assembly Senate bill 0099, An Act Concerning Education. What this copy actually shows is that the bill was specifically changed to include kindergarten. Originally the bill was just grades six through 12. In this copy the number six is crossed out and the capital K representing kindergarten is in place of it. So it actually reads: "Each class or course in comprehensive sex education offered in any of grades K 6 through 12 shall include instruction on the prevention of sexually transmitted infections, including the prevention, transmission and spread of HIV." It originally said AIDS, AIDS is crossed out, and it says HIV. So the crossed-out language was dropped from the bill, the underlined words were added in the bill, and it was originally not to include kindergarten. It was specifically changed to include kindergarteners in comprehensive sex education, and Obama did vote for it.

Sen Hilary Clinton stated at the time: " she believes it’s up to parents to decide how to handle such topics."

So, the facts are there was a bill, voted on yes by Obama that included sex education K-12th grade.
