Croatia’s strict sex education gets green light

EurActiv: A pro-abstinence sex education programme used in many Croatian schools is legally acceptable, the European Committee for Social Rights (ECSR) has found . . . Hailing the decision, Roger Kiska, a legal counsel at the Alliance Defense Fund, an alliance of Christian attorneys, said ‘we are pleased that the European Committee for Social Rights has upheld the right for parents to choose an option that does not violate [their] core religious and moral beliefs.’ ‘Parents should be the ones responsible for making educational choices for their children – not leftist activist groups,’ added Kiska, who represented the organisation which drafted Croatia’s curriculum in the case.”
