Per California Education Code section 51938, parents have an absolute legal right to opt students out of school sexual education:
Sex education covers all forms of hetero, gay, lesbian, and other types of sexual relations. If parents squirm when thinking about a public school educating their children with sexual videos, graphic books and detailed relationship discussions, they can object by opting out. It is reportedly quite graphic and broad. Topics include gay and lesbian sex, heterosexuality, reproductive rights, abortion and birth control, anal, vaginal and oral sex, and the whole gamut of sexual activities. Sex ed has really expanded over time and sexual education covers a wide variety of topics nowadays. Sexual Education May Be Objectionable to Some Parents If a parent may not approve of the graphic instruction regarding sexual relations from their local public school, the parent has the right to opt out of student sex ed instruction. What is taught in sex ed now is not what I was taught way back when. Sex education can continue throughout elementary, middle school and high school. How early this can go was exemplified several years ago when a teacher in San Francisco took her first grade class to a lesbian wedding for sex ed purposes. Sex ed can start as early as kindergarten. However, schools have the option to begin instruction in elementary school. Per the “Healthy Youth Act” law and the State Board of Education, sexual education is not legally mandated to start until seventh grade. What Grade Can Sex Education Start In Public Schools? This includes gay, straight, lesbian, and transgender sexual relations, plus masturbation, oral, vaginal, and anal sex, abortion and birth control, among other subjects. Sex ed now covers in detail all types of sexual relations. Masturbation, abortion, anal, oral sex- all are taught in CA public schools
