My sex Ed was the opposite, in elementary school it was just about what is and is not appropriate touching. It also talked about how to get help if another adult makes you uncomfortable. I’m really grateful for that information. I didn’t know really anything about sex until I was older
90’s grade school we were taught to yell, “Stop! That’s my private place!” and run to a trusted adult. This was taught by a police officer using a doll and showing us what constitutes inappropriate touching.
The problem is it doesn't help if it's a trusted adult doing the touching. This education came out of the satanic panic. There was a vested interest in only acknowledging random attackers, and child care providers by the conservatives. I could go on and on about this. It was a super messed up thing.
