All gay bashing aside I really do think there is better material to read to 7 year olds than that.
Signed.
They don't teach sex-ed in 2nd grade last time I checked. I don't know how they do it in other states, but here in Mass they do it from a scientific basis, they get into homosexuality, and by the time they are teaching it everyone knows what it is, and don't have a problem.
In Baraboo WI, they teach it in 6th grade (health class, covering STDs, etc). In Columbus WI, they teach it in 6th grade (life science, anatomy of humans). I took the class in Columbus, but I live in Baraboo now, where we covered it again in 8th grade.
As for everyone knowing, let me tell you a little secret: I thought girls had penises back in 6th grade, and when we were at my cousin's house one time the conversation between me, her, and her friend Sarah (all in the same grade), Sarah said that she thought guys had vaginas (before the class, obviously), so not
everyone is all that smart.
