A controversial workshop in Reus
The City Council of Reus has aroused intense debate after its decision to organize a sex education workshop aimed at primary school children. This initiative, promoted by the group of directors of the fifth Children’s Council, seeks to foster a better understanding of sexual health among young people. Official communication included images of a classroom with young children, generating an immediate response to social media.
Community reactions
The publication has accumulated more than 13,000 views, causing an avalanche of criticism. Many netizens have been surprised and outraged by the idea of relating sexuality to childhood. Comments like ‘5 -year -olds talking about these topics?’ They reflect various users’ concern about the suitability of such activities for such an early age.
Disease and controversy
There are those who have even called into question the authenticity of the message, thinking that this was a joke. Other Internet users have raised if parents have been informed about these education sessions. The general reaction was of disbelief, with some voices that have described the initiative of ‘asylum’.
A broad political debate
This controversy is not limited to Reus, but is part of a wider debate in Catalonia. The Government has proposed to implement a comprehensive sex education in the stages of Infant and Primary from the academic year 2025-2026. This measure is supported by several left -wing parties, including the PSC, ERC, Comuns and the CUP.
Faced positions
On the other hand, the opposition, led by the PP, Vox and Catalan Alliance, rejects this proposal forcefully, considering it inappropriate for young children. Affective -sexual education proponents claim that it is essential to combat gender stereotypes and prevent abuse, while opposition voices it as an attempt at ideological indoctrination.
Tensions to the parmentation
Recently, the debate has climbed in Parliament, with scenes of great tension. PP leader Alejandro Fernández expressed his frustration with President Illa, demanding that he ‘leave our children alone’. The Government, on the other hand, argues that these educational interventions are supported by experts in the field.
Final reflections
With this controversy on the table, society is at a key moment in reflection on sex education. The future of such initiatives will depend on the ability to find a balance between the appropriate information and the concerns of parents and the community.
