Sexual education in Kindergarden?! no way!

Why? why is there a need to start sexual education in kindergarden? First of all, all this will do is speed up the maturing process of these kids, which is ridiculous. Kindergarden is the time where educators should be sculpting their minds to be prepared to endure the long years of education ahead. Of course, at this age they should be experimenting with art and music, but not with sexual education. I also think that this program is a waste of money to be teaching something to kids, that they don't and should not fully understand. The school's reason to start teaching sexual education so early is to increase the graduation rate at this school because it will supposably reduce the amount of teenage  mothers dropping out. I do believe sexual eduaction should be taught early to pupils but maybe in 6th grade, when they are mature enough to understand what is going on and therefore practice what they are being taught. Children at the age of 4 and 5 should not need or have to know about sexual reproduction, and I don't see how parents would even allow such a thing.
