BRUSSELS (Reuters) - 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". "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. The government is investigating the attacks but said it would not give details for security reasons. The anti-EVRAS movement plans a protest in Brussels on Sunday.
