"eliminating" people from an given occupation because of personal beliefs...don't think I like that.

However, this teacher was very inappropriate. People who work with children should not be dressing like Hitler.

Sex Ed for Kindergarteners 'Right Thing to Do,' Says Obama


Sex Ed for Kindergarteners 'Right Thing to Do,' Says Obama - Political Radar

On March 25, 2000, GLSEN put on a conference called "TeachOut" for kids across and public school teachers across Massachusetts.
Students as young as 12 given graphic instruction in bizarre homosexual sex acts by state employees (and we were there to record it for the world)

The "Fistgate" incident

Then there is the school that helped the kid get an abortion without the parents knowing.

I dont believe I need to give you a link for the wanting to teach 2nd graders sex ed since that link was posted on here.

If you look at the curricula for the early grades, they talk about stuff like not letting people touch you inappropriately, etc.

Here is a quote from your own link about Obama's stance on sex ed for kindergartners:

'Nobody's suggesting that kindergartners are going to be getting information about sex in the way that we think about it,' Obama said. '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. Although again, that's going to be determined on a case by case basis by local communities and local school boards.'"

In addition to local schools informing kindergarteners that babies do not come from the stork, the state legislation Obama supported in Illinois, which contained an "opt out" provision for parents, also envisioned teaching kindergarteners about "inappropriate touching," according to Obama's presidential campaign.


The "fisting" story did not involve 2nd graders as was claimed, and I'd like to see some corroboration of that story before I bought it hook, line and sinker.

It's the peoples' responsibility to keep tabs on this guy. Any time he gets a new teaching gig, just inform the administrative staff and school board of his shady history and usage of school property for political posturing.

You said you didnt know of these type of things happening. Well now you do. You can make all the excuses in the world but they exist and real. So yes maybe we do need some sort of political testing and that they keep their political idealism out of the class room and if a parent wants to teach their 2nd grader about sex ed or their teenager about fisting thats on them.

The school room should be to teach the basics not be a parent

I never claimed the fisting involved 2nd graders. I said there is a state that recently wants to teach sex ed to 2nd graders.

"Sex Ed" to 2nd graders means talking about "where do babies come from", something commonly asked at that age, and inappropriate touch. It does not mean teaching 2nd graders how to have sex, no matter what you want to believe. It's a part of health education.
