CNN Covers for Obama & Kid's Sex Education

Bill Smith, ARRA Editor: Liberal CNN again showed their true colors by trying to cover for Barack Obama on the real content of a "comprehensive sex education for kindergartners." Did you grasp those words -- a bill addressing kindergartners an sex? Not only about sex but about "the prevention of sexually transmitted infections, including the prevention, transmission and spread of HIV." Read the words out loud! The end result of this bill is forcing "K" trough 3rd grade children to absorb more fears and responsibility. These are young innocent developing minds. I just checked my copy of the US Constitution and it doesn't give the U.S Congress this authority. What kind of perverted society they trying to legislate? Congress has no business being in the sex-education business in the first place . Nor should they be forcing their will on the States via grants and pittance funding.

Kathy Morrison at Purple People Vote reports:

In last nights CNN broadcast Cambell Brown, Jeffery Toobin, and others called the McCain campaign's ad about Senator Obama's support for a bill for 'comprehensive sex education for kindergarteners' a lie. One problem, they're wrong. The text of the bill states,

"Each class or course in comprehensive sex education in any of grades K through 12 shall include instruction on the prevention of sexually transmitted infections, including the prevention, transmission and spread of HIV."

They repeated the Obama campaign's explanation that the bill was about 'inappropriate touching'. *

Second problem, the bill isn't about 'inappropriate touching'. Byron York of National Review researched this bill and provides and an explanation along with the text of the bill in his article On Sex-Ed Ad, McCain is Right. However, when this article was brought up during last night's CNN broadcast it was dismissed.

CNN didn't do their homework and they should apologize and retract their statement that the McCain campaign lied. Contact CNN and demand a retraction: Election Center Feedback Form and Report an error/Headline News feedback form

* Note: There is a section of the bill that does address identifying abuse. While it is not stated directly as ‘inappropriate touching’ that is the idea of that section. However, that is not the primary directive of the bill.
