"Stranger Danger" and "Bad Touch" aren't discussed in Indiana Classrooms until the 2nd grade, and even then, its super-vague.

Is it gendered? Like who is taught what?

Gender doesn't exactly play into telling kids to tell a parent and/or teacher or doctor when anyone touches their "private area"? Pretty sure nipples are mentioned as such for girls and boys, if they are mentioned at all.

I agree, but do the policymakers see that as well?
