Romeny makes sex ed accusations
This is just odd. Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney (and notorious choice flip-flopper) is saying that Barack Obama has called for sex education in kindergarten.
The dispute began last week, when Obama said in a Planned Parenthood forum that he had been vilified by his 2004 Senate opponent, Alan Keyes, for supposedly supporting sex education for kindergartners because he backed a sex education bill as an Illinois state senator."But it's the right thing to do, to provide age-appropriate sex education, science-based sex education in schools," Obama said at last week's forum.
Yeah, how terrible. Sigh.

Why is it the school's responsibility to provide sex education? Other than the fact that US parents don't want to have to take part in their children's education.
Age and maturity are very different things. Just because a child is 5, doesn't mean that he is ready to hear about sex. Some may be ready sooner than that, some later. This should be a parent's choice, not the government's.
