The leading Democrat presidential candidates confirmed in a debate this week that they support introducing adult topics such as homosexual sex and "marriage" to young grade-school students. The controversy began last year when a Massachusetts teacher read a book called "King & King," a fairy tale about two princes that fall in love. The Dems minced no words in expressing their desire to see such radical, adult curriculum introduced to small children.
That's the same Barack Obama (D-IL) that told us only a few months ago that sex education in kindergarten is "the right thing to do," and that what is "age appropriate" should be decided "on a case by case basis by local communities and local school boards."
Well, this local school board is standing by the teacher who read the story, disregarding the complaints of several families of children who were present. Senator Obama, isn't this exactly the abuse that parents worry about? Why can't we leave values to the family?
Reading this book and discussing radical, adult topics with grade schoolers is NOT the right thing to do. Unfortunately, these Democrat candidates are too beholden to their own special interest groups to condemn it.
