A cartoon featuring discussion about children ‘touching themselves’ is being used in first-grade-classes in a posh New York City private school.
An elite New York City school that tells children they can’t be hugged “without consent” is now under heavy fire from outraged parents over lessons reportedly teaching young kids sexual gratification by “touching themselves.”
According to the New York Post, “health and wellness” educator Justine Ang Fonte at The Dalton School uses cartoons as a tool in her sex-ed classes for 6-year-olds featuring small children talking about “touching themselves” for pleasure.
“Hey, how come sometimes my penis gets big sometimes and points in the air?” a young boy asks in the cartoon, followed by an explanation about what an “erection” is.
“Sometimes I touch my penis because it feels good,” the boys says while nodding.
A small girl then notes: “Sometimes, when I’m in my bath or when mom puts me to bed, I like to touch my vulva too.”
Fonte claims she never uses the word “masturbation” in class, adding her lessons teach children not to touch themselves in public.
Parents expressed their outrage to the Post, especially when the school instructs consent for family hugs.
