Still waiting for you to articulate why this issue bothers you.

For one, it's not a school's place to introduce sex toys to minors. Second, any minor already interested in sex toys could find information on the internet. Third, it's not actually about sex education but rather queer pedagogy.

1)  So, the party that wants the government to stay out of private business is now demanding the government step in and tell a private school what they can and can't teach?

2)  Depending on what is taught and how it's taught, I don't think it's bad that sex toys are taught to kids.  I've heard of a lot of kids get into a lot of trouble because they believe bad schoolyard rumors that turned out to not be true.  I mean, I knew a girl whose boyfriend convinced her that Mountain Dew was an effective contraceptive and he couldn't get her pregnant because he drank a two liter a day.

3)  Finding stuff online isn't an effective education for anything.  That's how garbage info gets spread.  That's how you find out about a Nigerian prince that needs access to your bank account info so he can give you millions of dollars.  It's better to educate kids on the facts of sex education compared to letting them figure it out on their own.

4)  "Queer pedagogy" seems to be acknowledging the existence of LGBT people.  I don't think that's a bad thing at all.  When I was a teen in the 90's, you couldn't come out as trans and being openly gay was marginally acceptable in some very LGBT friendly areas.  Now a days, my daughter lives in suburban Oklahoma, she is openly lesbian, she has many LGBT friends in high school, asking someone what their pronouns are and people are saying this is "queer pedagogy."  I don't know about you, but I like that the world now gives kids more freedom to explore who and what they are.  

5)  You still have yet to provide a reliable source that says this is a problem.  Veritas is not a reliable source and if they're the only ones talking about something, I feel safe disregarding it.

6)  You continue to underestimate how manipulative "reporters" can be, especially reporters with an agenda funded by the Murdoch and Koch families.
