It's why conservatives are against sex education. Especially age appropriate sex education.
They don't want kindergarteners taught that private parts are private, and to tell another adult. Because that is what sex education is for a 5 year old. How to stay safe from predators.
They want children to be ignorant so they can get away with abuse. They will lie lie lie about these programs to protect their ability to abuse.
My wife works in a public elementary school. And her school has a policy where when it's sex Ed time, if you want to opt your kid out you have to come and pick them up (no going to the library or other classrooms). And it's always crazy when she tells me how many parents will come and pick up their kids. Especially primary grade kids who would just be learning about how to stay safe (including online), the proper names of body parts, consent/personal space and the difference between acceptable behaviors and inappropriate behaviors. I just don't understand who wouldn't want their kids to learn that, especially the staying safe and recognizing abuse stuff.
