As you may have heard, {then} presidential candidate Barack Obama endorsed guidelines published by the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS) for “age-appropriate” sex education in public schools, while some media outlets reported that vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin opposed, “sex education” in public schools. (And by the way, when reporting Palin’s stance on sex ed, they liked to throw in the fact of her 17-year-old daughter’s pregnancy, suggesting that sex ed would’ve prevented the pregnancy, but there’s no good data to support that conclusion.)
