Pre-K teacher claims kids are “never too young” to learn about sexuality

And the secret history of sex ed that explains why we shouldn't be surprised

A preschool teacher in California is under fire for repeatedly arguing on social media that children are “never too young” to learn about sexuality.

"There is a common mythology that children live in this world of pure innocence, and that by introducing or exposing them to the real-world adults are somehow shattering this illusion for them. Therefore, there is a banning of topics and issues that children should not be exposed to, as if they are not experiencing them already,” teacher William "Willy" Villalpando wrote on social media in 2020.

"I'm tired of the ‘Childhood Innocence’ argument… Stop blaming a phenomenon that doesn't exist,” he wrote on another occasion, going on to refute the notion that children shouldn’t be exposed to "sexuality” and claiming that "such a view is a very white, Christian, upper-class, cis-gendered, and hetero-centric."

"Not talking about Queerness in the Classroom, is NOT Letting Children be Children. It's Telling Those people They Do Not Deserve to Exist," he wrote in 2021. "Kids are never too young…Let's work to deconstruct some of our own biases. (Adults incorrectly link discussions on sexuality and gender as equating to discussions about sex.)”

Sexuality, of course, is inherently sexual, and Villalpando seems to be talking out of both sides of his mouth, as is often the case with advocates for sexuality education, by claiming both that “childhood innocence” is a myth and trying to divorce “sexuality” from discussions about sex as though still painfully aware there are some topics children do not need to be exposed to.

Villalpando has since deleted all of his social media accounts as Fox News reported. The outlet also discovered documentation that Villalpando worked as an early childhood educator for the Rialto Unified School District in California as recently as 2021, although the district would not reply to request for comment on whether or not he was still employed there as an educator.

You might find his comments horrifying, and they certainly are.

What you might not realize is that his comments are hardly his own, yet they are derived in a body of “science” that has conducted research and drawn conclusions so heinous, we must warn you that the following paragraphs contain very upsetting information about child abuse.
