My wife used to teach primary school in Scotland and the type of sex education they get before 9 is pretty simple consent stuff. The lesson would use an anodyne example like making a cup of tea: “If someone asks for a cup of tea it is nice to make it for them but making a cup of tea for someone when they don’t want it is not respecting their wishes/consent.”
I believe there was also a lesson about how people don’t need to like things stereotypically associated with the different sexes. For example girls can like football; boys can like the colour pink. That kind of thing.
Despite the cirriculum being those kinds of things she still had certain parents opting out 🤷

Now that I remember it, the co-workers exact words were “they want to give our kids sex lessons”.
