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.
