School sex education needs improvement

The other day I read an article about school students doing their best to learn about sex education. Since there does not seem to be proper instructive classes, I feel that the education portfolio should be offered to someone or group who has the common sense to begin this vital study from Kindergarten onward to adulthood.

Why is this subject matter fitted with a stone wall around it, allowing it to be erected by the NIMBY group?

Our bodies are enough of a mystery without adding to it! Kindergarten is the place to start — bones, muscles, movement, abilities, functions.

I learned what small amount that I did from the school yard privies, namely because that same attitude prevailed so many years ago. Knowledge on this subject would I’m sure go a long way to improving our way of life.
