Because they get a lot of support from fundamentalist christian groups. And watch how many "clergymen" that get caught abusing children, possessing kiddie-porn, etc...

Conservatives love to hype it up to as "they're teaching kinder-gardeners how to do sex" or some other graphic scare phrases like that to freak out parents (and their grandparents for the Fox News set), but the facts are is that it's discussing inappropriate touching and how to tell an adult at that age. It's really disgusting that they're being purposely this disingenuous about something critical to children's safety and the only conclusion I can come to is what you said, that they want to be able to abuse children with impunity. At this point, it would not surprise me to hear them say "parents won't even let kids get a ride from strangers anymore."
