The Christian Post – California’s Department of Education voted to approve a controversial guidance for sex education for elementary and middle school students despite protests by parents and others. Following hours of debate and public comments from both supporters and critics, as well as a protest attended by approximately 200 people, the board voted approval Wednesday.
The guidance in part encourages public school teachers to discuss transgender identity with elementary students and masturbation with middle students. A major issue for many parents and groups like the California Family Council was the content of the newly approved books that the Board of Education wanted to make available for public school teachers.
