I looked around the web, and it's clear that Barack Obama was talking about "age appropriate" sexual education. In my opinion, that would include just general information, that boys and girls are different, you can serious hurt someone kicking them in the wrong place, and that you have private parts, etc. I think you could cover the entire subject in about fifteen minutes. It might be easier if you had the school nurse come in and talk to the boys in one session and the girls in another while the opposite sex has a "special recess." After all, there are many kids in school who have no siblings, and are children of single parent homes.

Think of it this way:
At least the young one's will be able to accurately describe when they have been sexually assaulted weather it be p0rnography, m0lestation, or r@pe.
Also, at least they'll catch less sexually transmitted diseases if they know what to use, how to get it, and how to use such protection. As well as why protection is SO IMPORTANT. Plus, they'll know all the possible consequences too as well early on, so maybe it'll marinate better within them and they'll think twice.
It's sad, but there have been reports of sexual harassment and sexual assault in the age group of 5 year olds, and a 9 year old in the USA recently gave birth and the father was a 12 year old boy. If we can't stop them, the least we can do is educate them. Telling them "no" is just not an option, they WILL find a way.
It's most likely over hyped, no politician running for office in their right mind would be so bold, because too many people in this country are SHEEP. It takes people and time to change SHEEP not one person and a sound byte. Just look at all the reactions you've gotten so far.

The Clinton camp is feeding the media appetite by putting the twist on his feelings to hurt him. His intent is to have the children informed that no one should touch their private parts and they should not touch other private parts. Doing this in a tactful manner could thwart many perverts abuse. Having children understand the no No's is better than having to get them help after they are abused. Think about it.

I don't think he said anything like that.
The first person that came to mind upon reading this question was Dr. Joycelyn Elders. Didn't she try to instigate this into kindergarten classrooms in the 90's?

No. It was misspoken.
He feels that there is a need to teach children the differences between "good touches" and "bad touches". Doing something like this empowers children to protect themselves, and tell someone if something happens. He feels this is something that needs to be covered in kindergarten.
What is so sad is that in this day and age, he is right.

If geared to their level of understanding I think it is a good idea, knowledge is power and ignorance is anything but bliss when faced with an unwanted pregnance or a deadly STD.

Someone, (maybe the Clinton people) is planting nasty rumors in an effort to waylay the competition.
It appears that the dirty tricks have begun.

Think rationally. Would any person in their right mind do such a thing? No. This is totally over-hyped.
