That McCain sex-ed ad that Obama says is a lie....

...it isn't.   From ABC News last year July 2007.

When Obama's campaign was asked by ABC News to explain what kind of
sex education Obama considers "age appropriate" for kindergarteners,
the Obama campaign pointed to an Oct. 6, 2004 story from the Daily
Herald in which Obama had "moved to clarify" in his Senate campaign
that he "does not support teaching explicit sex education to children
in kindergarten. . . The legislation in question was a state Senate
measure last year that aimed to update Illinois' sex education
standards with 'medically accurate' information . . . 'Nobody's
suggesting that kindergartners are going to be getting information
about sex in the way that we think about it,' Obama said. 'If they ask
a teacher 'where do babies come from,' that providing information that
the fact is that it's not a stork is probably not an unhealthy thing.
Although again, that's going to be determined on a case by case basis
by local communities and local school boards.'"

In addition to local schools informing kindergarteners that babies
do not come from the stork, the state legislation Obama supported in
Illinois, which contained an "opt out" provision for parents, also
envisioned teaching kindergarteners about "inappropriate touching,"
according to Obama's presidential campaign. Despite Obama's support,
the legislation was not enacted.
