California School's Sex Ed Lesson Ranks Students by "Privilege"

A California parent has revealed a controversial sex education lesson being used in a Sacramento school. The curriculum includes a "privilege ranking" exercise and instruction on transgender identity. The materials are part of a program called "Teen Talk." In one activity, students are told to rank themselves based on categories like race, religion, and gender. The goal is to show how these factors affect a person's advantages in society, also known as privilege. The lessons also cover transgender topics. This includes teaching that biological sex and gender identity are different. The school has not yet commented publicly on the use of these materials. The disclosure has sparked debate among parents about the content of sex education classes. The state of California has guidelines supporting inclusive sex education. However, individual school districts decide which specific programs to use.
