Then you need to prove that sex talk with children is on par with these good things like electricity and plumbing. Hint: it's not. The fact that so many people don't want it should be proof of that.
They aren't teaching electricity and plumbing in primary school, but they teach what a mother and a father is, which are gender roles.

And I am sure that you don't want people to force their religious views on your children. And if that's the case, then maybe you also shouldn't force your sex talk on other people's children.
Government is forbidden form making any law respecting an establishment of religion per US Constitution.

And by that logic why force them to learn math, science, English, history or any of this shit? Hell, just get rid of schools altogether, problem solved!
Major platform of the GOP has been abolishing the Department of Education. They are anti-teacher, anti-education. Less education means more voters for them.

I am not trying to defend what the person is saying.
I do say though, that different people have different idea of what progress is. You think having sex talk with children is progress. I think it's not. What do?
Yes it's progress. Conservatives pine for the days of 12 and 13 year old brides, the good ole days. Your lawmaking reflects this. You would go back to higher teenage marriage and pregnancy in a heartbeat.
Educating people about their bodies leads to more control over their lives and more reproductive autonomy and enhanced ability to avoid creeps.
