This strikes me as highly inappropriate and id certainly pull my kids out of any school that thought sex ed for first graders is a good idea. What do our resident pardians make of sex ed at younger ages? Id think around the age of puberty it makes sense to discuss this topic but prior to that it's just perverse.
https://m.theepochtimes.com/parents-outraged-over-contents-of-first-grade-sex-ed-lesson-at-nyc-private-school_3838359.htmlFirst-grade students at Dalton School, an institution with a price tag of about $50,000 per year, watched clips from the animated series AMAZE during a sex-ed lesson last fall, according to the New York Post. The lessons were taught by Dalton’s director of health and wellness, Justine Ang Fonte, who has recently faced criticism for teaching an explicit “pornography literacy” course to junior students at the Colombia Grammar & Preparatory School nearby.
Parents took issue with Fonte’s graphic lesson about self-touching. She reportedly assured parents that the idea was teaching kids not to touch themselves in public, and that she didn’t use the word “masturbation.”
Some parents also took issue with another portion of the lesson where students were taught that even their own parents or grandparents should not touch them without permission. While some believe that teaching about consent can help children better protect themselves from potential abuse, others argue that it went a little extreme.
“Literally parents are supposed to say to their kids, May I hug you?” said one Dalton parent, according to the Post, which noted that all parents featured in its report specifically asked to remain anonymous due to fear of retaliation.
