Are people incapable of actually saying what is so controversial about this program
What poor quality journalism writing.
How can you have a headline like that without addressing what makes the contents of the program unusual and what makes the program controversial?
The program had been around and available for all age groups for years, but was not compulsory until now.
…
Protests, with a few hundred people taking part, have also been organized in Brussels.
Several Islamic groups have also condemned the program in a joint statement, fearing it will favor “hypersexualization” of children.
Its right there. These people hate sex-ed in general, nothing to do with the contents of the course itself.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
BRUSSELS (AP) — Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo said on Friday that he will seek the help of government experts on extremism in the wake of a series of school arsons.
De Croo spoke just hours after a sixth school in the French-speaking Wallonia region was torched this week.
The program is a required four hours of training for students aged 11 to 12 and 15 to 16, intended to help them develop their relational and sexual lives.
De Croo said that sexual education has been provided in Belgium for half a century and warned that the country will not take steps backwards.
“I would like to call on everyone to calm down and try once again to cut through the lies circulating about the Evras system,” the education minister in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, Caroline Desir, said Friday.
Local media quoting the prosecutor’s office in the city of Charleroi said the investigation has not established a link between the six arsons so far.
