It didn't say to teach kids about those things. It asked the teachers to think about how they would respond if a student asks "is it OK to masturbate?" Should they pretend like that question could never come up? Should they stick their fingers in their ears and say "blah blah blah I can't hear you!"? Might it not be a good idea to think about it so, if the question comes up, the teacher would be ready to respond?
Good grief, did you even read the presentation that you shared?
I never asked my teacher if I should masturbate. It has no place in a school.
They need to be taught how to respond to such a question if a student brings it up. Which seems to be what 147 and 148 are about. Its not teaching material as far as I can tell. But we are going to throw teachers under the bus because it scores political points. I get it
I really wish the Right would stick to issues like the economy and getting the government off everyone's back and pocketbook. Manufacturing issues to rile up the right be effective but to me its silly.
Its threads like IS BIDEN THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER? Again its riling up the base. Biden is not going anywhere and does not care if he is the worst ever. We can do better with the focus.
I went a year listening to my step daughter teach her 1st graders in Arizona over Zoom when the schools were closed over covid. She lived in our home. Pretty benign stuff. All of it.

Agreed. But if you were a teacher and a student asked, how would you respond?
The presentation you linked doesn’t tell the teachers what to say, it only asks them to think about it.
If it were me, I would say something like “masturbation is very common. So you don’t need to feel strange or guilty about it. But whether or not you should do it is something you need to decide for yourself, based on your own values and religious beliefs. I can’t answer that for you.”

I would tell the kid to shut up, that question has no place in the classroom.

A truly passionate educator of the people.
