Jul. 20, 2007 - For the second day in a row, Republican presidential candidate and former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney blasted Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., for believing "age-appropriate" sex education should begin as early as kindergarten.
Obama, who has family members and friends who suffered sexual abuse at early ages, believes young children should know the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touching. The legislation he supported in the Illinois Senate would have revised the state's law so that sex education would begin in kindergarten and run through high school, rather than running strictly from grade six through 12.
After Obama reaffirmed his belief Tuesday that age-appropriate sex education should begin as early as kindergarten, Romney saw his opportunity to pounce.
"How much sex education is age appropriate for a 5-year-old?" Romney asked Wednesday at a Colorado campaign stop. "In my view, zero is the right amount. Instead of teaching about sex education in kindergarten to 5-year-olds let's clean up the ocean of filth, the cesspool in which our children are swimming."

Way to go Obama......leave it to the Dems to try to stick their noses just a bit further into what should be the choice of the parent. Sex Ed for kindergartners....UNREAL!
