Same trend here in Germany, or at least here in Berlin. Helicopter parents freak out what their 8-year-olds are being taught or, as you suggest, what kind of sick logic and imagery children and their families are forced to deal with. Sexual practices, homosexuality, contraception, sexual abuse. [ I hear in America even the unedited version of the Grimm's fairy tales are being banned for being too explicit.] I agree that the teachers are more than often unfit to deal with these matters. I wish they could get more support by providing them with good teaching material they could select from and follow through, for example. Because the idea behind it is good: teach children about their right to say no to non-consensual sex before puberty and make them strong to make decisions based on their own sexual orientation and not to satisfy old people's expectations. I have seen how much colonial-racist crap and perspective training my son had to eat and what a long way we still have to go to raise awareness that this is doing damage for white children and their future perspectives also.
