There is usually a one-time talk at the end of 5th grade concerning sex and puberty. I've given these before and they consist of a brief talk, usually some sort of short movie, and a LOT of Q&A - which is where the issue of homosexuality would be most likely to be brought up. I can't imagine how hard it would be to work up the courage to ask a question about one's sexuality only to be told that it was illegal to discuss it.
Seems pretty obvious that the intent is to limit exposure of kids to the issue in order to prevent them from seeing homosexuality as normal for some people.
I wonder how many of those who support banning any mention of homosexuality from health classes also cry about "censoring" ID from science education?

Re: The actual law and what it really covers
Did that guy seriously just espouse the dangers of BrainPOP?
Factual, age-appropriate, informative video clips are, apparently, pretty scary stuff.
The only mention of "witchcraft" comes from maybe twenty seconds of a video describing what various religions are. Imagine, elementary students could have learned that there are numerous religious beliefs throughout the world! Oh the horror!
