Although he's discussing it in the context of the presidential race, Thomas Sowell addresses an issue relevant to the campaign for Proposition 8. Excerpt:
"Many Americans would consider sex education for kindergartners to be absurd but there is more to it than that.
"What is called "sex education," whether for kindergartners or older children, is not education about biology but indoctrination in values that go against the traditional values that children learn in their families and in their communities.
"Obviously, the earlier this indoctrination begins, the better its chances of overriding traditional values. The question is not how urgently children in kindergarten need to be taught about sex but how important it is for indoctrinators to get an early start."
