This exactly has what to do with reading,writing,and arithmetic?? Well what do we expect from such college educated teachers. Next weeks class.....do you identify as male, female, or other??
Actually, everything has shown that exposing children to sex leads to them having less sex as teenagers, and having a lower chance of having children before they're ready. Seeing as how grade school is about teaching kids how to be adults, be responsible, and function in society I would say that's something they should be learning.

That's a load of bullsnip. I was exposed to sex early on and it messed me right up. I don't know who your researchers are, but they might be the same people who messed me up.

I was too. It didn't mess me up in the slightest. Maybe you're just weak minded and can't accept the world for what it is?

Are you really claiming that ignorance is superior to knowledge? Can you point to a single subject where that has ever been the case?

How about knowing murder?

Discussing other people killing things is generally how we know it's wrong. We don't have to do it ourselves. The same is true of sex, you can discuss the topic and decide how it works without doing it.
Does discussing murder lead to people killing others?

The difference is that I can tell my child that babies are made. Whereas the school is just aiming to make children desire.
Big effing difference.

I question if discussing anal sex with elementary kids is the best approach.

Taboo subjects are those that are most often desired. The more ordinary you make sex, the less people are going to seek it out because it's something special.

Teaching them about safer alternatives to potentially getting pregnant is a bad thing?

Yes, it is. This is something that is none of the schools business.
Why not? Isn't it something people need to know in order to be functioning adults?

It's not like we're just talking about preventing pregnancy in teenagers anymore. Anal sex has nothing at all to do with that.
It kinda does prevent pregnancy.

That's like saying that because I know what a Big Mac is, I'll never care to get another.
Wtf. The moment I tried McDonalds fries, I was hooked. What are you thinking?

Again, you are teaching them about desire at an age where most of them do not desire because they aren't old enough to really have those hormones.
So should we make cannibalism and incest ordinary too? There is a reason why they are taboo.
