Gender and sex education curricula in schools have become a highly contentious topic in recent years. The programs are becoming widespread, and while they may appear to be designed to respond to increasing gender dysphoria, mental health professionals are concerned that they may cause irreparable harm to children.

Curriculum implementation has been met with mixed reactions from parents, teachers, and policymakers. While some argue that gender education promotes healthy relationships and informed decision-making, others contend that it is too graphic and highly inappropriate for children.
