For what it is worth, the teacher did send out an email with more information and there was an option to opt out. I am not even saying that I disagree with the approach, because I am not an expert on education. It was just kind of shocking, but I'm not necessarily against it. I put a lot of trust in the system and assume the content and techniques have been researched by qualified people.
If you are curious, this is the 3rd party educational group that goes around to the schools to teach sex ed in the Vancouver area.

Here is the exact material they emailed out to the parents. It's a downloadable PDF, so only click if you don't mind downloading the brochure.

They don't talk about teaching slang, but it is pretty intensive. The checklist says they expect pre-schoolers to know about things like periods and wet dreams, which seems young to me, but again, I am not an expert. I do know that some parents opted their kids out. I find it lacking that they don't have a single male educator in that whole group though, but just my opinion.
