It's not the suitable age.
What about 13-14 year-olds?
I think prepubescents need to preserve their own innocence, and to learn love first.
Love as gift and not as genital pleasure.

Alcohol is poison. It is a depressant. A relatively small dose can cause alcohol poisoning in a child or even in an adult with a low body weight such as myself.
Tobacco isn't poison. It's the other stuff they cram into cigarettes that is poison.
Marijuana is basically harmless unless you're predisposed to specific mental illnesses.
So again, a child can die from alcohol intake. Not so much from reading a book.

Did you think that through? It appears that you have not. Those that are most in need of this work probably would not get parental permission.
And it is odd when one asks people to find something specifically wrong with this work they cannot provide anything.

I love that documentary. Amazingly the actor that played Kramer in Seinfeld is in it.

Twilight, not bright nor dark, good nor bad.
I don't think nudity is a requirement for a grade school.
Alcohol is poison. That is why you can get alcohol poisoning.
Books are not poison. No one ever goes to the hospital with book poisoning.

No one is "requiring nudity". Thank you for failing to justify your position.
Why? How does it harm them? Through 99% of human history children witnessed nudity and sexual congress regularly, It isn't reported to have harmed them.
What's harmful to children is not a matter of opinion. What do the experts say about it?

What is "innocence" and how does knowledge of the human body pose a threat to it?

I saw this during a school field trip when I was in elementary school. I was scarred for life.
It is art but it is nekkid:
What shocks adults is not what shocks children. What we should be shocked by is learned, not natural.
To a child, everything is new and strange. Sorting out the shocking from the mundane is part of growing up. Don't let your own hang-ups pass to your children.
Teaching a three year old that a frog is disgusting, blacks are unclean, or sexual intercourse more shocking than eating, does not instill healthy values.
Well, it did have some insightful articles....

Why was nudity a bad thing again? Because a snake ate apple or something like that, right?
If parents were competent to educate their children we wouldn't have schools. The best parents are likely to achieve is a replication of their own ignorance and neuroses.
Exposure to nudity from an early age produces well adjusted adults who don't equate it with sex and prurience.

Hah! I see that you have not seen my prior post yet.
"Innocence" is a synonym for "ignorance." They mean the same thing, but emotional connotations are different.
So why is one desirable and the other undesirable?
