I agree parents need to have a strong role in hygiene and sexual education, however most do not have this role, they may have "the talk" Cue to a twelve year old in a principal's office and then the parent wonders what is going on when they are called into the office because their child has been taking dick pics and sending them to kids at school.. Most parents don't realize the amount of sexual behaviour happening at a VERY young age because of technology.
Kids have access to a lot of inappropriate things without most parents' knowledge or understanding of the tech they allow their kids to own. I think a lot of parents need some upgrading in human sexuality lessons as well, there is a lot of great curriculum online to use to have these discussions with your kids, and if a parent is uncomfortable that is when a teacher can do it.
Parents are allowed to withdraw their child from the curriculum at school for any reason they choose, and some of them do because they've already done it at home.
