Absolutely.

(for the record, we did all the reproduction sex stuff in seventh grade here, including watching education films about it I'm not sure they would show today. Oh and dissecting frogs and mice in the same year!)
Studies show that the more kids know earlier on in secondary school about sex education, all aspects, the lower the teen pregnancy rate tends to be. Although rates in the US have been coming down the last few years, they are still the highest in the developed world.

You're talking about "reproductive/sex education." I had that beginning in the 5th grade. This is a penis, this is a vagina, this is how a baby is made. Also, girls, you're about to start getting periods and this is why. Etcetera. What DeSantis is talking about is teaching kids about "gender identity" (as in, that there's many) and that there's multiple sexual orientations and they're all equally valid. That stuff has absolutely no role in the classroom.
This is a bit similar to the people saying, "They want to stop teaching about slavery in class!" when talking about removing critical race theory from the classroom.
