or would you opt out? They say age appropriate, but would you trust the teacher or would you rather teach your child at home?

I think the government (particularly when liberals are in control) is over-reaching it's duties as prescribed by the US constitution. And NO, I don't want Obama,his Mama, or any of his kind (meaning crazy liberals) teaching my kids squat! That is why I home school! I will never allow any entity or any institution that does not acknowledge God to have that kind of authority over my children. God help 'em. I mostly think that they mean well, but as the saying goes: "The road to hell is paved with good intentions." But these people are WAY off. It's getting scary. There is NO democrat currently running for president (or not running for president) I would vote for. The republican field is nearly as bad.

NO! Most children in kindergarten are around the age of 5 or 6 years old!! In my book that means that they are still babies. I do not believe that you should tell your child that babies come from storks, or cabbage patches either. However, I think that children are growing up way too fast these days, and that is where the problem is. Adults want their children to be grown up as fast as possible so that they no longer have the responsibility of raising them and will take whatever the government has to offer them. Parents are way too eager to push off their responsibilities of raising their children on the government and to me that is horrible. As the mother of a 7 year old little girl, I am absolutely apalled that anyone other than me would teach my little girl such things. My daughter knows that babies come from mommies tummies, but I feel that she is way too young to know all of the details on how that baby got in that tummy in the first place. She is not mislead, she is not fully informed yet. I would like to keep my daughter young and innocent as long as I possibly can. She deserves to have a childhood that is fun and carefree. She does not need to be concerning herself with such things. I would rather her be more interested in playing! I would not in anyway support any public school teaching my child sex education and if they attempt to, I will pull her from that school and put her in a private christian or catholic school!! I refuse to allow the liberals idiots of this country to dictate to me how I should raise my daughter!! Also, I refuse to allow my daughter to wear low rise pants or short shorts, or tummy tops! She is 7 not 17! She will never dress like a little hoochie and especially at 7! There are way too many wackos out there who prey on little girls, so why intice them more to want to hurt them!! This is country has really got to stand back and realize what they are doing to the youth of this country!! I will fight them every step of the way and in any way that I can!!

Yes. The key words are "age appropriate." Teaching kindergartners to resist somebody wanting to touch them inappropriately is age-appropriate education for them. Many parents do not teach this because they don't know how to, are not comfortable with it, or might not think of it. In any case, you have to trust the school to teach it and/or reinforce it, or else you have a bigger problem that needs to be addressed by going to a different school..

No. I would opt my child out. I think age appropriate is more like 4th or 5th grade.

They already have age appropriate sex ed, and in kindergarten it often involves warnings about strangers and inappropriate touching.

Hell no. I'm also opposed to the current system of introducing alternative lifestyles to public school 2nd graders. It's a sad fact that it happens here in California.
Home schooling looks better every day.

In politics.. trying to tie this to Obama?
Obama was not advocating the inclusion of sex ed in the preschool curriculum. His thesis statement, if there is one, is best captured here:
"Nobody's suggesting that kindergartners are going to be getting information about sex in the way that we think about it. [But] if they ask a teacher 'where do babies come from,' that providing information that the fact is that it's not a stork is probably not an unhealthy thing."
