Is it reasonable for parents to panic at cartoon nudity in school textbooks? Only if we embrace irrational taboos about bodies.

This is what they don't seem to understand. The sex ed is age appropriate. No one is talking about condoms with 6 year olds. They're hearing about boundaries and bathing suit areas. It makes them less likely to be abused and more likely to report abuse.

You're... preaching to the choir. I also didn't argue against education, so I'm failing to see what you are arguing against here.

Glad were on the same page. When I saw:

Your toddler talking about sex can lead to undesirable social consequences.

something that shouldn't happen with age appropriate sex ex, it seemed like you thought toddlers were actually being taught about sex.
