STORY CONTINUES BELOW THESE SALTWIRE VIDEOSBRUSSELS - Belgian education minister Caroline Desir has condemned a series of arson attacks on schools in recent days in protest against a new mandatory sex education course, saying the attacks were acts of"extreme brutality".
A total of eight schools have been targets of arson or graffiti against the Education in Relational, Affective and Sexual Life program, which is based on a 300-page guide which some parents and associations have criticised for its sexual content. "They are attacking our teaching, our freedom of education. These are acts of extreme barbarity, these are acts of terrorism", Desir told Belgian broadcaster RTBF on Friday while visiting a targeted school near the southern city of Charleroi.More than 100,000 pupils as young as 11 years old in the Brussels and Walloon regions have already started taking part in EVRAS-related classes.The anti-EVRAS movement plans a protest in Brussels on Sunday.
