I can’t answer your question because I have no idea what those things are because I don’t teach them. I’ve seen them discussed in reference to some states in the US. They are not taught in the jurisdictions that I teach.

Interesting, you must not be teaching in Ontario then. https://www.ola.org/en/legislative-business/bills/parliament-42/session-2/bill-67
Also, it seems that CRT is named differently in Canada, but the overall concept is still the same. Here is an article that explicitly talks about CRT being implemented in Canadian schools. https://slowtowrite.com/critical-race-theory-in-canadian-schools/
As for the Sex Ed, I am pretty sure it is being taught in all of the Canadian schools regardless of a province. Check this comparison out and keep in mind that it is from 2015. https://globalnews.ca/news/1847912/sexual-education-compared-across-canada/
I’m not. I’ll let you in on a little secret. Most teachers don’t care about “mandated” curriculum. It’s impossible to fit everything in and we are really good at weeding out the bullshit.
I doubt that teachers who specifically teach CRT and Sex Ed, somehow manage to leave everything from the curriculum out. Unless they manage to omit 100%, it is still incredibly harmful.
What’s wrong with sex ed?
I don't know, maybe teaching young kids that they can choose their gender and go mutilate their bodies in order to fit their new "gender identity"? Or showing them basically pornography and telling them (if not encouraging) that boys engaging in oral and anal sex with each other is completely normal? Maybe I am old fashioned, but I think it is completely inappropriate for strangers to talk about such things with kids under any circumstances.
When did they start teaching that? I’m out of the loop for many years now

Weird that you as a teacher haven't heard about it. I get that you teach math, but you still supposedly should be more familiar with the school system than I am.
I would wager that I am. This is what I have been trying to say all night. Every classroom and every school and every school district is different. Every teacher is different.The curriculum is grey around the edges, and we tailor it to our students in the place we are teaching.
This has also been my observation from the limited time I was in classrooms as a district IT tech. Most teachers were passionate, and methods of teaching varied a lot.
You can pretend that this stuff is not being taught all you want, but it is a fact that these subjects are in the curriculum, the textbooks are actively being produced, bought and used in schools in many countries.
Differs from place to place, I can not tell you the exact year. It probably started in 2015 or even earlier and has been gaining major traction in many American and European countries since 2019.
Which schools? Because states have different curriculums.
Do you want me to name exact schools? I am afraid that is too much to ask. If you genuinely are interested in this subject I suggest you do your own research. You can also check out this article comparing Sex Ed curriculums in Canadian provinces. It is from 2015 and they already had gender identity included at that time. https://globalnews.ca/news/1847912/sexual-education-compared-across-canada/
Here are a couple examples of Sex Ed from UK and Switzerland.
