Yes, this doesn't neutral to me. "Ensure that parents can dominate their children completely, by shaming them for normal, universal behaviour, without them ever being allowed to be exposed to the fact that it is in fact normal, universal human behaviour". Or even that some people consider it to be normal, harmless, healthy universal human behaviour.
I'm fine with public schools teaching that there are a variety of religious views on masturbation, along with teaching that it exists. Just not that there is only one and only one view that can exist.
Why would you object to a high schooler being aware that different viewpoints exist? This is the entire point of education.
Again, parents and guardians don't own their children. They're not property, they're people. And they have a right to developmentally-appropriate, factual sex education. It has been proven beyond any shadow of doubt now that such an approach minimises harm to said children. And they can continue to make up their own minds on what religious approach they want to take forward into their adult lives.
