“These bloody schools want to teach 5 year olds about sex. Only parents should be allowed to choose what and when kids learn about this stuff”.
Fantastic mate. So your teaching method will be “avoid the subject”, then “vague religious murmurings” then finally “son learns about love and consent on his own from 4chan”
My wife used to teach primary school in Scotland and the type of sex education they get before 9 is pretty simple consent stuff. The lesson would use an anodyne example like making a cup of tea: “If someone asks for a cup of tea it is nice to make it for them but making a cup of tea for someone when they don’t want it is not respecting their wishes/consent.”
I believe there was also a lesson about how people don’t need to like things stereotypically associated with the different sexes. For example girls can like football; boys can like the colour pink. That kind of thing.
Despite the cirriculum being those kinds of things she still had certain parents opting out 🤷
I had one of those parents at my work once.

Now that I remember it, the co-workers exact words were “they want to give our kids sex lessons”.
