Do you really think they will have a whole unit on "anal"? No. They'll talk about it for half an hour and move on. Someone more familiar with Ontario's school system can chime in here but Sex Ed is like two weeks of the overall Health Curriculum here.

There is a health and safety aspect to all sexual acts. I don't see how you can teach health and safety without discussing transmission and transmission can't be discussed without getting into the details (or "gross aftermath" as you called it).
It would be interesting and helpful to see the full curriculum and literature/pictures they will be using though to make a more educated opinion on it.
