Obama Wants The State To Be The Parent

J.J. Jackson* | July 22, 2007

Barack Obama is really pushing his nanny state ideas. Now he is saying the state should dictate that children will learn about sex in kindergarten.

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.”

We’ve got kids that can’t read, write and do math and Barack Obama wants to teach them about the birds and the bees too? If the government schools do as good of a job teaching sex as they have those other topics our kids won’t know how to procreate and the human race will die out.

I’m sorry, but issues like this are the parent’s responsibility and not that of a bureaucrat in Washington and want to be “Commander” in Chief of our lives.
