Furious parents have blasted a private school for displaying information about masturbation to first graders openly.
Local media outlets confirmed how the incident took place at the Dalton School, which is an educational institution under the private sector in New York City. Moreover, details into the investigation revealed how the school thought it was appropriate to show children, that were only in first grade, educational videos that explained explicit information about masturbation.
The school’s teachers also came under fire for taking upon the bold stand into teaching the kids more about consent too.
Surprisingly, the students were also told to not allow their own family members such as their parents and grandparents to touch them without asking for their permission on a priority basis. This report was confirmed by the New York Post recently.
Upon finding out, parents revealed their utmost disgust and fury at the school, calling them out for their inappropriate context, considering the ages of the children. Parents were also quick to voice their anger, releasing plenty of statements against the school too.
“These people do not deserve the right to teach children. Ironically, they have the nerve to teach children about the concept of consent but they have never bothered to get consent from the parents regarding the sexually explicit and very inappropriate material being taught to kids in first grade.”
In the same way, the parents also spoke about how they were not against the topic of sex education. However, they felt betrayed that they were being kept in the dark about their children’s curriculum this whole time.
“I do not pay these a**holes $50,000 just to let them tell my kids that their grandfather should not hug them,” another added furiously.
Meanwhile, a representative from the school was quick to imply how the school’s comprehensive curriculum regarding health included videos that had been in line with recognized methodologies.
What do you think about the incident? Do you feel it was age-appropriate to go down this route for students that hailed from first grade?
