How could authorities in any school think that it is appropriate to use sexually-explicit literature and cause psychological harm to children who are still at ages when they should not be hearing about such things?

Anyone who would have spoken to a child with such language outside a school setting would be arrested for grooming.

What happened to letting children stay innocent until they have reached the stage in their lives when it is appropriate to educate them about what has been euphemistically referred to as "the birds and the bees"?

Jesus I don't even know the answers to the questions. And yes, I'm not dumb I just cannot be bothered to learn about something I have no interest in.

People who believe in God could easily be described as deluded and mentally ill as well.

I agree anyone who believes in a coward is mentally ill.

Or people who read the Daily Mail, especially people who don't realise what a shít stirring pile of drivel it is.

It says 'secretive study plans' talk about anal sex and orgasms and then doesn't provide any evidence of that claim.

I have a friend who had her first period at nine. I have other friends who have always known they were gay. Providing information like this gives these children reassurance that they are normal and nothing is wrong with them and there others out there who might be feeling similarly.

I have never met a gay person who 'turned' gay or who was convinced to be gay. Such ideas are nonsense and its a bullshit reason for denying access to such information for kids because they are 'too young'. Whether we like it or not, children are having these feelings and its much better to offer information that might help then just shutting them down and saying they're too young for that.

I don't see what's sexually explicit about that material there.
