God forbid we use science

For clarification, the issue came up again last night in the Democratic debates.

Full question and responses from John Edwards (irrelevant) and Barack Obama.
Just in case anyone was still wondering what Obama meant by "age-appropriate sex education." He has once again emphasized, as he did previously in response to Mitt Romney's comments, that what he means is information to help children deal with sexual predators.

I still don't want my sons school teachers being required to teach them about sexual predators. It's my job as a parent to prepare and protect them from the world, and I want to craft the message in a way that I feel is appropriate for their age. I don't want the nanny state to take away my parental duties.

Again, there's no love for Mr. Romney here. I just would like you to refrain from brandishing the broad brush when talking about groups of people like evangelical Christians. There are some stand out caricatures on TV that attract alot of attention, but that is hardly a plurality of the group.

Again, from the NPR story I quoted before, "Fifteen percent of Americans believe that schools should teach only about abstinence from sexual intercourse and should not provide information on how to obtain and use condoms and other contraception." Evangelicals make up 0.5% of Christians in the USA, and have very diverse views like many other groups, like Mormons. Obviously, the 15% are more than just that very small group.
