Report: AZ Education Department “Equity Toolkit” Reveals Racism Starts as Young as 3 Months Old
Two professors from New Jersey’s Montclair State University say “LGBTQ-inclusive” sex education should begin in elementary school before “hetero- and cisnormative values and assumptions become more deeply ingrained.”
Eva Goldfarb and Lisa Lieberman of Montclair State University examined studies on sexual education ranging from grade school to twelfth grade. They found that “substantial evidence supports sex education beginning in elementary school, that is scaffolded and of longer duration, as well as LGBTQ-inclusive education across the school curriculum and a social justice approach to healthy sexuality.”
The researchers examined several studies that involved preschool classrooms. According to the researchers, one indicates that “young children are, in fact, quite capable of understanding and discussing issues related to gender diversity, including gender expectations, gender nonconformity, and gender-based oppression.”
The researchers determined that “substantial evidence that sexuality education is most effective when begun early and before sexual activity begins.”
“This review suggests that not only are younger children able to discuss sexuality-related issues but that the early grades may, in fact, be the best time to introduce topics related to sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, gender equality, and social justice related to the LGBTQ community before hetero- and cisnormative values and assumptions become more deeply ingrained and less mutable,” concluded the study.
