wow that's an awfully thin article
however, if the premise is correct ...where's the problem ?
According to CNN, kindergarten and first grade students would learn about anatomy, healthy relationships and personal safety
most kids are already inquiring about those things and many who are gender confused, are so at that age so why not ?
anatomy should already be well known by kindergarten.
healthy relationships should be a no-brainer at any age.
and personal safety ?? like what - don't use someone else's comb/brush ?
that's a good lesson to learn.
the article is too vague to comment further as i can see this easily exceeding the boundaries presented.

agreed and it certainly doesn't sound like it by the description either.
It's a very important topic and the only thing that stands out is "Sex Education"
can't say i'm not curious.
I believe that sums it up but to be fair I'm still trying to find any info on the actual curriculum.

what ever happened to "health" class ??
we learned those things but not in kindergarten and not in a class deemed Sex Education.
man, if my mother had seen such on a class schedule
well, let's just say her response would have been news worthy

nothing about public education is 'benign', regardless how it's presented.

Hate to say it but as long as man has been on the planet this is all he knows how to do well.
Nobody needs lessons on how to "breed."
They could use some lessons in how NOT to breed.
Wouldn't you agree?

Considering that predators often use a child's ignorance about what is good touch and what is bad touch to molest them and they use a child's ignorance about what is happening to them and whether it is right or not against them, I think this will equip children to protect themselves.
I doubt they are showing how to have sex and prevent pregnancy or even how babies are made. They are talking about age appropriate information like good touch and bad touch. If the curriculum for these lessons is age appropriate, how can knowledge harm? Deny ignorance.

Nothing about looking for sores on your fuzzy parts
as for 'learning', why would you want to hold back your own children until YOU are ready ?? that seems counterintuitive.
