That conditional - that "or in a manner that is not age-appropriate" means the law isn't actually just targeting 3rd grade and below. It's targeting whatever "is not age-appropriate" means, which conveniently isn't defined in the law.
It's a huge hole in the law, and absolutely leaves it open to be applied at any grade-level. And remember, "Johnny has two daddies" and nothing else is frequently termed as "sexual" by people with an axe to grind.
Case in point: in my own life, my aunt told me that she didn't want me to be around her children if I ever had a boyfriend, and that if I brought the boyfriend home to a holiday then her kids couldn't be there. Just ... existing! That's the problematic mindset that a lot of people still have, and this law gives them a huge window to attack LGBTQ+ people in schools with it.
