Ask him where he heard them? Call the school?

I’d let him! They need to vocalise these things without being made to feel shame and like there’s anything wrong.
We used to play a game when my boy was little where he could say anything he wanted for 2 minutes no repercussions.
I’d also ask them if they wanted to ask any questions or speak about anything they’ve heard.
They’re curious and want to learn stuff, so teach them in an age appropriate manner so these things aren’t taboo.
I’m really proud that my boys now 16, never swears inappropriately, would apologise if he ever did, and feedback from outsiders on his manner etc is always amazing - despite what some others may have felt was controversial.
