>If you don't want your kid learning about their body, opt out.

I really struggle with this. Should parents be allowed to opt out of basic education, so much abuse and trauma could be avoided if they weren't. I really don't know or have an answer, but as cliche as it is, it keeps me up at night.

Honestly I lean towards no. And there's slippery slope and liberty implications which I appreciate. But if we're asking, does a parent have the right to deprive their child of basic knowledge necessary to function in society, I gotta say no on the same grounds as beating your kid isn't ok. Being a parent isn't free reign to abuse your child and I very much think zero real education is abuse
