    “Previously categorised as unsuitable to children” and “offends some school board members” aren’t useful metrics.

        Something that contains information rather than just referring vaguely to what other people thought about it.

        Your last comment was a long paragraph with 0 actual information about what you consider unsafe.

          can you be more specific? i shared information. its not safe to expose kids to pornographic novels, doesn’t matter if it’s lgbtq or not.

          edit; to ellaborate and be as specific as possible, it’s not ok to have 10 year olds reading oral sex instructions and telling them that it’s not only ok but that it’s good to do it? so it seems unsafe to me to encourage a 10 year old to give blow jobs.

            Your edit is what I was looking for, specifics about what is and isn’t safe according to you. And for that specific one, I think that’s reasonable.

            Though I don’t see even improved sex ed as ever teaching the specifics about how to do various sexual acts. It would be more of a dos and don’ts list. Like don’t reuse toys without cleaning them, be aware that sexual fluids have enough volume to sustain bacterial and fungal life, so you should always clean your toys after use. Or if you’re rubbing your skin raw, use some lubrication. Or that it’s normal for there to be a bit of pain the first time, but if it keeps up like that, you might have a medical issue that a doctor can help with. Or how to tell the difference between normal discharge and abnormal discharge that should be checked by a doctor. Or symptoms of early pregnancy and how tests work.

              I really hope you are right. they should also do it when it’s really relevant to their experience/hormonal development, and I know some people develop earlier than others so it should be on the younger end of the time window.
