New education standards in the state of Illinois call for children as young as 8 years of age to be taught how to masturbate and to learn about drugs that can be used to induce their so-called gender transition.

The standards were developed as a result of Senate Bill 818, which was signed into law by Illinois Democrat Gov. JB Pritzker last year. He claimed it was a reform that would modernize the state’s “sex education standards will help keep our children safe and ensure important lessons like consent and internet safety are taught in classrooms.”
