JSTOL3 - As a mother of three teenaged daughters - I support sex education. Not abstinence education.

Obama is not saying he wants to hand out condoms and show xxx rated porn to 2nd graders.

He wants "age appropriate" and science based information provided. I totally support this.

For example; in 2nd grade, they'd be talking about inappropriate touching. I also support using correct words - vagina, penis.. instead of "down there" or "private parts"... in 2nd grade. Sex ed isn't all about sex. It's also about body image. Self esteem etc... Nothing taboo for 2nd graders.

My friend thought it was a good idea to teach her children at a young age about the proper names of body parts, her 7 year old went around for the longest time telling everyone she had a virgina and did they have one or a penis. Young children do not always understand there is a right time and a wrong time to discuss such things and no matter how many times you tell them not to they pretty much do as they please.

Ypung children do not know what to do with this information and thought process at that age. The kids committing sex crimes in day care centers and such, learned it from an idiot that abused them. Let children be children, start shooting the sex offenders, problem solved.

First off, Obama did not suggest teaching sexual education to second graders. Again, look up the facts before you post something like this. I understand you don't like Obama.. but your just spreading more trash.

I believe that Children of any age should be taught to understand the dangers of inappropriate touching. I also believe that using the proper words for the anatomy is the right thing to do. Our daughters know the difference. Their mother is in the medical field. Abstinance is all fine and dandy, however, if kids are told DON'T do this... they ususally find a way to do it, so it's important that they understand the dangers of STD's and Pregnancy.. and how to protect yourself.
