A prolific children’s book author, Dagmar Geisler, has been under social media fire in recent days over the contents of her book My Body is Growing, which publishers claim to be for children as young as four. The page of the book in question that’s causing public outcry is one that describes a scene where Sabrina describes to her little brother Toby when she has sex with her boyfriend. It’s complete with graphic terms and imagery about the process of intercourse.

According to the description on Simon & Schumer, the distributor says the book "is the perfect introduction to body awareness and sexual education for preschool and early elementary school students."
This situation is the latest in a line of controversies surrounding what kind of content is being taught to children. Gender Queer was another example of sexually explicit depictions, targeted towards young audiences. But "A Book About Whiteness," attempted to introduce school children to the progressive leftist’s narrative of racial politics.

Earlier this year, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis approved legislation that prohibits teachers from discussing sexually explicit contents with students in the third grade and younger. Seems he's the only governor who is minding about what the children are being tought

Soma vizuri. The sister anamwambia how her and her boyfriend have sex.

Some of you might think that this is immoral.

Alafu baadaye mnateta/mnacheka mkitoa jokes when this happens.

Watoto wafunzwe about their privates and what role/function they perform.

Lest they be preyed upon by watu wa Boda na watchman. :D

Why they got pregnant
We interviewed 19 girls who had experienced early unintended pregnancy to get their perspectives on why they were susceptible. They attributed their pregnancy to being tricked into having sex. Boys challenged them to prove their love by having sex with them, and they complied to maintain their relationships and impress their partners. When they got pregnant the boys abandoned or denied them.

Some said they lacked accurate contraceptive information before initiating sex.

Many stated that they only knew how to prevent pregnancy when they were already pregnant. Neither their parents nor teachers taught them about methods of preventing an unwanted pregnancy.

Some who knew about contraception were misinformed about side effects. A 16-year-old interviewee from Homa Bay county who got pregnant and dropped out of school before the age of 15 said:

Yes, we were told, but we were told that if you want to use it, you have to have a child first because if you just get into freely (using contraceptives) you may fail to get a child.
The lack of trusted mentors to counsel them on sexual matters, including preventing pregnancy, was mentioned as one reason for their unintended pregnancy. When asked why she did not consult older women, an interviewee replied:

I don’t have an older woman I can trust. If you tell them, they will know you are having sex, and everyone will soon know.
