Parents at an elite private school in New York City are furious that first-graders have been shown sex education videos that appear to include information about masturbation.
Justine Ang Fonte, a health and wellness teacher at the Dalton School, allegedly showed students a video last fall from the free sex education series for children called AMAZE, in which a cartoon boy asks about erections.
Fonte’s classes also reportedly included lessons on gender identity and consent, instructing children that their parents and grandparents should not touch them without asking permission.
Fonte has told parents that she does not use the word ‘masturbation’ in class after they complained to school administrators but were told they had misinterpreted the lessons, the New York Post reported.
