Obama Claim: "Actually, that wasn't what I had in mind." Obama Sex Education Facts: Barack Obama claims his vote for sex education for kindergarteners was a vote for "age appropriate" sex education. But Obama also voted against putting internet porn filters on school computers, allowing small children unlimited and unsupervised access to adult material on the internet. The truth is there is no such thing as "age appropriate" when it comes to sex and small children. Government has no business teaching 5 year olds anything about sex, and Obama's attempt to pander to radical special interest agendas should be exposed for just what they are - radical. Sex education is a sensitive subject best left up to parents. Even Liberal Democratic Presidential Candidate John Kerry admitted the sensitive nature of teaching young children about sex: "Kerry recalled drawing a diagram for his elementary-school daughter years ago when she asked him about the birds and the bees, 'She got so terrified, she ran out in tears,' he [Kerry] said."
