> Which means that having a law that says teaching human sexuality can't happen is impossible to do without turning the teachers into uncaring robot like beings.

How archetypally liberal to define the difference between humans and “uncaring robot like beings” in terms of being able to talk about “human sexuality.” It’s really an obsession isn’t it.

The word sexuality has a specific meaning that is much broader than you are giving it credit for.

We are, after all, talking about a law and a legal system where definitions are somewhat important.

So relying on a real dictionary, M-W, I get: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/sexuality

> Definition of sexuality : the quality or state of being sexual:

> a : the condition of having sex

> b : sexual activity

> c : expression of sexual receptivity or interest especially when excessive

I don’t think I’m being a prude in saying that third graders shouldn’t be learning about any of this.
