Of course children should be educated on how to protect themselves from molesters, etc, but the difference between you and me is that I think that should be the responsibility of the parent to teach their own five year old child about that. It is the parent's implicit responsibility. We should not need to have kindergarten teachers in charge of that and I don't want some school board deciding how they are going to go about doing so. Just educate my child. If everybody committed to their responsibility as a parent, we'd be a lot better off. And as for obfuscating the truth, I will concede to you that yes, both sides do it and that is pretty much what our entire, litigious society runs on. So it's no wonder that politics, overrun with lawyers, is full of double-speak as well.
