It has now become the norm/culture in schools abroad that they teach kids about gender fluidity.
At What Age Are Kids Supposed To Know About Se* Education? REACTIONS
This caused alarm online especially for Nigerians in the diaspora leaving the majority of the parents worried about the level of exposure sensitive topics like that gives to the kids.
Sex education is high-quality teaching and learning about a broad variety of topics related to sex and sexuality.
Sex education enhances young people’s understanding and improves their attitudes about sexual and reproductive health and behaviour. 2. Sexuality education, whether in or out of the classroom, does not increase the incidence of sexual activity, sexual risk-taking behaviour, or STI/HIV infection rates among young people
Though sex education may take place in schools, at home, in community settings, or online, some parents don’t find it okay for teachers and schools to teach their kids sexuality.
Although the goal is to give accurate information and not confuse young people. In most cases, it includes detail about :
-
- Puberty
- Reproductive/Sexual Health
- Sexual orientation and gender identity
- Contraceptives and safe sex practices
- Prevention of sexual violence
The intent is to increase awareness of one’s body and other genders but do we think the child might however be overexposed?
Puberty is a confusing age – with hormones racing, changes in the body and an inherently more nuanced view of life.
Sex education can help adolescents navigate some of these challenges, arming them with education and information that builds respect for their bodies and others but should it be done by schools without parents’ permission?
