CHESTERFIELD, Va. – Chesterfield parent Louis Bernardo doesn’t appreciate teachers at Jacobs Road Elementary School talking to his 11-year-old son about ejaculations, wet dreams, or sex.

Bernardo told NBC 12 he was at home with his fifth-grade son recently as the boy was reading out loud from the “boys guide to growing” and the father couldn’t believe the words coming out of his mouth.

“Why does it get hard?” Bernardo said, rereading one of the questions on the school-issued handout. “That is just ridiculously obscene and disgusting.”

Bernardo said when he realized the materials came from Jacobs Road Elementary, it made is blood boil.

“When you ejaculate, it’s one full teaspoon,” Bernardo said his son read out loud. “I was like, ‘What in the world are you reading?’”

“When I started reading it, I got mad. Boy, did I get mad,” he said.

Other questions on the assignment included:

“Do men stop having erections when they get older?”

“Does it matter what size your penis is?”

“What is circumcision?”

Bernardo said the pamphlet went into detail about puberty, sex, ejaculations, wet dreams and how the reproductive system works. NBC 12 reports it included illustrations that are not suitable for broadcast.

“I was a little bit creeped out,” Bernardo’s son, who was not identified, told the news site. “I felt awkward and I don’t know how other people felt but I think they felt awkward too.”

Bernardo doesn’t think his son or his classmates are mature enough to learn the intricacies of sex.

“It’s definitely too much, too soon. He is 11 years old. I mean, I didn’t learn this stuff until I was 16, and it wasn’t even from the school,” the father said. “I want to know why the school board approved this reading material for 11-year-old kids. What do they have to say about it?”

Apparently, not much.

District officials issued a lame statement that directed parents like Bernardo to take their issues up with the state Board of Education, which sets standards for Virginia schools.

“Contact the Virginia Department of Education for information regarding the Standards of Learning guidelines for family life education,” Chesterfield schools spokesman Shawn Smith said.

NBC 12 did exactly that, and state education officials pointed back to the district.

“The selection of pamphlets, textbooks, workbooks and other materials is the responsibility of the local school board,” DOE spokesman Charles Pyle wrote in a prepared statement. “The Code of Virginia states that parents have the right to review the curriculum, including all supplemental materials.”

District officials countered that parents are provided a letter about how to opt their children out of the lessons.

“The principal has indicated the school has not received any concerns from parents since the lessons were delivered over a week ago,” Smith said.
