Kids need to learn about their bodies, consent and types of abuse early so that they are able to recognize and report abuse being done to them or others. If not, they don't have an understanding of the language needed to express that things that are wrong and they need help.

This is EXACTLY why republicans don't want children to have a functional path to sexual education. And similarly why they don't want their voters to have a basic general education.
