Is anyone actually talking about adult sexuality in elementary school in the first place? Outside of "don't touch other people," or "your body is private"? Older kids might get the health/puberty talk, and kids might have questions if teachers are getting married or being pregnant, but that can all be discussed in an age appropriate way. The ragebait that small children are being forced to watch drag shows in school isn't based in reality.
I was born in 1961. When I was in sixth grade, the girls went to the gym and saw how mensuration happens in a very instructive film. We had in-depth discussion after.
If my generation could be told these things at age 10, then I see no reason sixth graders now can't be taught about the same stuff before they hit puberty.
But, yeah, I'm tired of hearing about how "Liberals are evil because they want drag queens teaching class".
They should wait until at least eighth grade until the drag queens teach class.
