It's not the schools' job to teach the children as young as five about sex, anatomy, or whatever. They usually already know the differences between girls and boys. Beyond that I can't see any need for the lessons. When I was in school, girls learned about periods and boys learned about ejaculation (I assume) in 5th grade. My daughter had that same lesson in 5th grade, so it's still the same here. I think that's about right. Sex and anatomy lessons just are not appropriate at the younger ages. You will never convince me that it is necessary.
Too bad you didnt actually take the time to find out what the curriculum is actually going to be before having a major kneejerk reaction.
Then I guess we shouldn't teach anything since some kids won't be mature enough to understand it.
If you read the article it said parents can opt their kids out.
Why are you taking extremes here ? Maybe you'd want your kid in the class but I wouldn't want mine.
Sex ed in kindergarden is not the same as learning your ABCs and numbers.

Do you think its ok for children not to know the proper names for their body parts?
Speaking of taking extremes, you have indulged in that quite a bit on this thread.
That means the progressives and their children will progress to openness of their sexual speech to one another. Children are children and have very young minds and are impressionable. Many parents will take their children out and leave the public school system as it will become a rotting corpse degrading with each decision they make into their secular beliefs.
And children need to learn about safety in sexual situations. The average age of child molestation victims is 9.
So go on and opt your child out, put them in a religious school. They will not be protected, and they will not know how to deal with the situation when they are bullied by their molester to keep it a secret.

You think I didn't teach that myself ? I don't need government doing my job as a parent.

Good. They should be able to opt out, since it is controversial. But the option should be there.
Overall I'd say there should be no controversy then. If someone isn't comfortable with it, opt out and let every other kid learn. Just know your kid is going to learn it from the other kids, and it probably won't be as accurate.
When you are sexually repressed any talk of sex is dirty.
When you are perverted, you get off on the idea of teaching five year olds about sex.
