A responsible teacher will direct sexuality questions back to the parents. This is not for them to direct or discuss.

Her skills as a teacher are lacking.
She is not their friend.
A teacher is not your friend.
They are nice and friendly but are an authority figure.
Good teachers know the balance between being friendly and funny as well as being an authority.
a person whose real or apparent authority over others inspires or demands obedience and emulation:

So, Sex Ed typically started just before puberty to teach those changes that will soon happen and was biological based.
...
Around 12+ we start to talk about safe sex etc, but once again it is on a generic bases and not some fringe teacher's opinion. Not sure what happened to all that.
Their generation will not be yours.

How is this grooming?
I just watched it. One of the kids was first to bring up non-binary. Another kid said "they" all before the teacher even said anything.
It's not -- it's paranoia from adults as we've seen before.
My kid (15) openly talks about non-binary as he says most of his friends are or accept non-binary.
It is their generation -- not the parents. And parents should understand this.
My kid tells me he's a video game character, much the same way I thought I was a super hero at his age.
Doesn't make either cases true.
Do we tell schizophrenics that the voices are real.....?
Look forward to your grandchildren.
Their generation will not be yours.
Empty platitudes?
k..
NO.
I'm on my 4th generation of raising kids.
Each generation evolves. Well -- most do -- some remain stuck.

The current dichotomous culture you learned to adhere to is rooted in Christianity, it's Christian morals that create sexual Trauma.
that's basically what we see here, overreaction and denial, typical behavior when confronted with traumas.
It will heal, 2 generations down and well all be laughing about them, scared, retarded, sexually repressed individuals.
Don't expect the world to slow down because you can't keep up.

I see a teacher explaining the concept of non binary gender identity to a classroom who are visibly skeptical and even unhappy. But I'm not a child psychologist so it's fair to say I might be assuming.
The film has received numerous awards including the Silver Prize for Documentary Feature (2021) in the Social Justice Film Festival and a nomination for Northwest Regional Emmy® (2022) in the category of diversity, equity, and inclusion – long form content.
There is no “one way” to implement anti-bias education. The four anti-bias goals help guide the work. This approach involves critical thinking and a deep understanding of the complexity of the issues and the context of your community. The film is a provocation to generate dialogue about how to bring this approach into your practice.
The film is organized around the 4 interrelated goals of anti-bias education, which are relevant to both children and adults. (Derman-Sparks& Edwards, 2020)
Goal 1: Identity: Demonstrate self-awareness, confidence, family pride, and positive social identities.
Goal 2: Diversity: Express comfort and joy with human diversity; accurate language for human differences; and deep, caring human connections.
Goal 3: Justice: Recognize unfairness, have language to describe unfairness, and understand that unfairness hurts.
Goal 4: Action: Demonstrate empowerment and the skills to act, with others or alone, against prejudice and/or discrimination.

Like drugs? If a kid who had no knowledge of drugs and no understanding of them whatsoever, they havee never learned about them, or talked about them.. if that kid gets offered drugs by another student and told oh yeah these are awesome youll love it.. they have no other knowledge backing their descision to try it. They will likely believe their friend.

Talking about it is grooming? Here is what's wrong with you folks...
You'd rather have it bared from public discourse?
it's sex ed, get out of your Christian sex dungeons, or at least admit that you need the world to be censored so you can feel non offended, oh wait where did I hear that before....
Your all the same little snowflakes, Christians with their reee and liberals with their screech... All thinking their moral highground is justified while both standing on a pile of crap trying to virtue signal.
Carry on...
