    Anyone burning down schools to “protect the children” should take a very hard look at themselves. I hope they catch the people responsible quickly.

    I do fear that this will cause some more islamophobia here (and we already have plenty). The problem isn’t religion per se, it’s misinformation. People believe that this program would cause teachers to teach kids how to masturbate, which is obviously ridiculous.

    Unfortunately, fake news is more common in certain groups. One of those groups is muslims. It’s the same reason why vaccination rates are much lower among them.

    It’s a problem that runs very deeply and is a consequence of a failed integration approach.

      Eeehh, religions (and cultural practices based on stone age values) are a HUGE part of the problem, though, if not all of it.

      You don’t see progressives and atheists burning down schools. That is exclusively for the religious and the backwards.

      Meanwhile these are the same people that are okay with a 40 year old man marrying a 10 year old child. I’m sorry, if I’m an Islamophobe for saying that’s a problem, then I’ll happily be an Islamophobe. We no longer live in the 1500’s, so stop acting as if we are. You disagree, you talk. You don’t cut off heads or burn down schools.

      Yes, I’m quite anti religions, but islam is the worst.

      And on teaching masturbation… everybody thinking that a teacher would be jacking it in from of children should think again. You can safely tell children that it’s okay and normal to touch yourself (in appropriate moments) as you would touch others, and that you don’t need to be ashamed of that.

        Yep, never heard of a single case of atrocities done by progressive atheists in the name of what they believe in!
