A disturbing Dutch sex education video has exploded across X, igniting fierce backlash from parents who see it as a blatant attempt to sexualize children under the banner of “comprehensive” education.
The clip, produced by the Rutgers Foundation in the Netherlands, features facilitators in a classroom setting quizzing elementary-age kids about touching their genitals and experiencing pleasure.
Rutgers pulled the original video in 2025 after the initial outcry but the damage—and the questions—keep spreading.
The program is part of Rutgers’ “Spring Fever” (Lentekriebels) initiative, rolled out in Dutch primary schools as early as age 4. In the resurfaced footage, adults ask boys questions like “Do you ever play with your dick?” or “Do you ever touch your willie?” while probing girls on orgasms, clitorises, and vaginas.
Dutch politician Nicki Pouw-Verweij weighed in on the broader Rutgers approach: “Many parents have no problem with sex education, but they do have a problem with sex education at school. We have been teaching teenagers how to prevent STDs for decades, and that has never caused any problems. Teaching children about diversity or masturbation is something completely different.”
