 | And thus, in their prosperous circumstances, they did not send away any who were naked, or that were hungry, or that were athirst, or that were sick, or that had not been nourished; and they did not set their hearts upon riches; therefore they were liberal to all, both old and young, both bond and free, both male and female, whether out of the church or in the church, having no respect to persons as to those who stood in need. |

I want to warn you about one of the newest smears going that has been started by the McCain campaign about Senator Obama. They are claiming Senator Obama promotes teaching "sex education" to kindergartners. The McCain campaign is aware that this charge completely distorts the purpose of the proposed legislation by Senator Obama. Barack Obama had proposed legislation to teach kindergartners about the dangers of strangers. This would also include a discussion about "good touch" and "bad touch" These are kids leaving the care of their parents for the first time who need to be forewarned against pedophiles. Is Senator McCain suggesting we should be soft on pedophiles? This program would still include an opt-out possibility for parents unconforatable with the program. I would also note that the Tiger Cubs and Cub Scouts have an extremely similar presentation in their program. Scouting is a program the LDS church uses for boys and young men. Tiger Cubs are first graders, so the age groups are roughly similar. You can see the idea is not outrageous and already enjoys support. Do not reward McCain's continued dishonesty in smearing for shock value.
