“Four-year-olds at an Alert Bay, British Columbia school were reportedly given this homework assignment on touching their private body parts,” Libs of TikTok stated on Substack.

The alleged worksheet asks students to draw a picture of the private places in their home where they can touch their “penis” or “vulva.”

The worksheet also stated, “All families have different rules about masturbation (touching your own private parts). Talk to your trusted grown-ups about your family rules.”

Libs of TikTok also noted:

T’lisa̱lagi’lakw School is part of the Namgis First Nation. A spokesperson for the Nation told Libs of TikTok “the incident is under investigation” and therefore was not able to comment further. The principal could not be reached for comment.

The worksheet is adapted from a book called Body Smart: Right From the Start which is advertised for 3-7 year olds.

UPDATE: After the publishing of this post, the Facebook user and parent of a child in the school who first alerted us to this assignment posted this confirming that the school is investigating:
