Really picky, but I guess it was detrimental to the movie in some way... when the little schoolkid asked Joan "what's a virgin?," I always wondered why she just didn't respond with "A woman who isn't married."
Totally untrue in that movie, lol, but it would have avoided an awkward explanation, and the little kid wouldn't have known the truth/difference until years later anyway.
Yeah, it's really not up to the teacher to explain sex to the children. These days a parent would probably get really upset about that.

Rightfully so & parents should pay attention to exactly what is being taught
in school about human sexuality & at what age.
With a 'progressive' administration there are agendas to push children's awareness about various aspects of human sexuality at very young ages

That's not true. There is no progressive agenda to teach sex ed to very young children. It's about teenagers learning about safe sex and diseases and how to stay healthy.
What about these pageant parents that dress their little girls up like hookers and parade them around so they can win a trophy? These are parents with really warped value systems.

I still remember being about 8 years old and we were allowed to watch Hocus Pocus on video in school on the last day of term...cue 25 8 year olds asking what a virgin is! :-D I think thats how most of my generation found out!
shareI don't know what I find more disturbing: that 8-year-olds were wondering what a virgin is or you had a teacher who thought Hocus Pocus was a good movie.

In Sweden we all knew what sex and intercourse was at around the age of 5, in kindergarden. Precisely because we were taught so early on and without any neo-Victorianism and guilt attached, we grew up as relatively healthy adults knowing what to expect, how to protect ourselves and when to say "no". Nudity was never considered sexual or bad in Sweden HENCE we never sexualised kid´s naked bodies in the way the US does. The combination of Victorianism and utter vulgarity is the trade mark of the US in many respects. I saw both my parents naked growing up and couldn´t have cared less- it certainly didn´t ruin me or make me either abused or a pervert, rather the opposite. I learn early on how to just recognise what an healthy attitude towards sex is. Sadly these things are changing here too and kids now shave their anuses shaved, posts pornographic posts of themselves at Instagram while AT THE SAME time screaming from pretend fear if some boy would see them without a top.
