More to the point, it's restricted to 'primary age' kids which around
here means grades 1-3. Which in my opinion is totally reasonable. If
it were grades 9-12 I likely would feel differently.

That's how it's done.  Once you see the nose of a camel in the tent,

 You seriously believe 5 and 6 year olds should be exposed to the same
materials as 16 and 17 year olds? That's the clear implication of what
you said.
 I remember in jr high we had our sex ed class where having seen "Boy
to Man" in grades 7 and 8, in grade 9 the teacher asked us if we'd
like to see "Girl to Woman" (which is what the girls' portion of the
class had been viewing). It was mostly ho-hum and I learned little.
 (While I didn't have an older sister I had found my Mom's pads and so
forth and had been curious enough to check out at the library
precisely what they had been used for - and learned what it meant when
they weren't needed - e.g. either pregnancy or menopause - I didn't
yet know menstruation could be altered by the pill)
 

I believe that when you start with good intentions, and end up with authoritarian rule, it wasn't about the good intentions in the first place.
You get that the initial aims were good, but quickly devolved into their real intentions.
