    “Controversial” to some people, maybe. It has been a thing for a very long time now. Direct quote from the article “The program had been around and available for all age groups for years”. If you look at the sex ed class in itself, it contains nothing controversial at all. It’s just christian and muslim fundamentalists that disagree with it. I guess that teaching kids how to recognize sexual abuse is not in their interest.

      Commenting here because I can’t upvote twice. As usual, it’s the religious nutcases again that believe we should live according to a fairy tale written 2000 years ago…

        Exactly, we should be living according to books that say something like:

        If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

        Not whatever fairy tale they’re reading. Maybe they don’t read.
