Would have been very nice to be told about “hey there is more than just gay and straight” in school for me because then i wouldnt had to learn it threw an indian guy i randomly met online. And lots things made more sense. If you grow up rural and conservative there is basicly no chance you encounter anything outside your bubble and stereotypes.

Also sex stuff SHOULD be taught to children. Because it is also about puberty which children go threw and they need to know what is going on. Children have a right for good and the same quality of education across the board for all.

Everyone stumbles upon everything they wish to know as they go threw life

This could not be further from the truth. Example me, i am bisexual. But did not know that was a thing until covid. And only threw covid i spend lots of time online which brought me to this guy who was bisexual and who explained it to me. That then led me to break out of the faar right bubble i was in, toxic friends and in the end to a much healthier and happier life with my partner.

that is borderline grooming

Explaining to kids how a baby is made, the cell development/pregnancy, how their bodys work and which part does what, how to use and what type of contreceptions there are, how they work and their risks aso, about STDs, telling them about different sexualities and gender identities and that it is okay whom ever they love, and masturbation is normal and not shameful, is not grooming not in the slightes! Its health education.

Its also not interfearing into their development, not in the slightest.

I doubt many parents can or even want to explain genetics, hormons, DNA, STDs, cell development of an fertalised egg from fertalisation to brith of the baby, contreception aso to their children. Sexual education statisticly prevents unwanted teen pregnancy which often ruins a teens life.

They are going to picture your face every time that topic arises

That honestly says more about yourself than you think it does.
