Sex education on sexuality for 8 year olds - what do you think?

I found this a very concerning read. 8 year olds being required to look at nude photos of adults, and a detailed illustration of a vulva, and to discuss their feelings about bodies large and small. Also "interesting" that the male nude has been photoshopped to have long hair.
Apparently children are showing real discomfort at the content and some teachers are refusing to teach it.

If they were teaching age-appropriate biology I would accept the curriculum but, of course, it is tainted with gender ideology. For that reason I oppose its current state.

Can you link to the lesson with gender ideology please?

I don't know how to do a link but it's easy to Google rhsp what is transgender level 2 . The trouble is the ideology is throughout the rhsp curriculum not just a one off lesson.

The naked picture is from a P6 lesson. I remember loving and growing and we saw naked people in that too.

I'm not sure why a male having long hair is offensive to you.

Interesting that someone went to the effort of removing the short-haired head the body belonged to, and changing it on Photoshop to a long-haired male head. They obviously felt it was important to do that.

The word "sex" is only used once in all the policy documents in that consultation, in a reference to the Equality Act. The word "gender" is then used to replace "sex" throughout.
