About this site

Lente-kriebels.nl explains to parents what the Week van de Lentekriebels is: the relationships and sex education programme that Rutgers has offered to Dutch primary schools since 2006. What is in the lessons per age group, including the parts on gender and gender identity? Who makes and funds the material? What happened in 2023 and what was true about it? Which rights do parents have towards the school and the participation council? And what does research say about sex education at a young age?

What you will find on lente-kriebels.nl

• The programme: history, organisation, reach and the role of Rutgers and regional health services
• Lesson content per group: what children from grade 1 to 8 are taught, with the contested parts named
• The 2023 controversy: a reconstruction of what happened, what was false and what had a factual basis
• Parents' rights: attainment targets, duty to inform, participation council, inspectorate and talking to the school
• Research and alternatives: effects, WHO standards, the Cass Review and other teaching methods

The tone is calm and factual: taking parents seriously without panic, critical of gender identity lessons for young children, fair about the aim of resilience and safety. Every article ends with a sources block. The site is in Dutch.
