In a heartwarming example of interfaith solidarity, ultraconservative Catholics and ultraconservative Muslims have put their differences aside to join forces in burning down some schools for teaching about consent and the existence of LGBT people.

MODERATORS
The article only mentions Islam
doesn't change the fact that the church is notoriously unaccepting towards personal freedom to exist whenever their God created someone non-binary. πΆβπ«οΈ
Do Roman Catholics ever go as far as to burn down schools, though?
They have gone as far as assassinating doctors and bombing abortion clinics so I wouldn't put it beyond them
Tbf that's probably less so because "we disagree with you" like this case and probably moreso "we believe we are genuinely saving lives"
Terrorists often think they're the good guys and doing it for a higher cause.
Cool
Ah yes, nuclear weapons and machine guns are the same.
Would be nice if the article included any information about said sex ed program.
It is a normal sex ed program that exists since half a century as the article points out. Having to justifiy teaching children about sex, risk of stds and consent must not be justified against vile lies of extremists.
Can't find an English article but you could find a translator of your choice for https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2023/09/15/geen-pornopromotie-of-genderindoctrinatie-hoe-lessenpakket-evra/ as they go decently in depth I to it.
It's basically a tool to answer questions of children at different ages. Going from what makes boys different from girls, that consent is important, that violence in relationships is not normal or ok, that they should watch out with sending naked pictures of themselves and also that if they do get a naked picture from a partner it's not ok to send it to others, or that what you see in porno is not at all representative for actual sex. Etc, etc.
That sounds like a great program. Thanks for looking into that for me.
Basically, when mommy and daddy love each other very much,
This is the best summary I could come up with:
BRUSSELS (AP) β 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.
βI would like to call on everyone to calm down and try once again to cut through the lies circulating about the Evras system,β the education minister in the Wallonia-Brussels Federation, Caroline Desir, said Friday.
Local media quoting the prosecutorβs office in the city of Charleroi said the investigation has not established a link between the six arsons so far.
