No, I want to see the actual curriculum. On a quick scan, (which is all I have time for right now) I don't see anything that backs up your claim that they're teaching kids in the first year of school about gay sex.
On the contrary, the level 1 curriculum for that topic is pitched at about this level:
• Human beings can love people of the same gender and people of another gender.
• Some people are heterosexual, which means they can be attracted to and fall in love with someone of another gender.
• Some people are homosexual, which means they can be attracted to and fall in love with someone of the same gender.
• Homosexual men and women are also known as gay men and lesbians.
• People deserve respect regardless of who they are attracted to.
• Making fun of people by calling them gay (e.g. “homo,” [edited because this tripped the profanity filter] “queer”) is disrespectful and hurtful.
Given that some of the children in these classrooms will have same-sex parents, none of this is going to be shocking news even to young children; but the message of respect is really important.
