Some were against the class, but the sewing/handiwork would teach the children the hard work that would be expected in society. It was a long discussion, but for Lucius it looked like that the light and dark side tried to bury the class, but he stopped that and put the class to vote. Three quarter of the board voted for it and the class passed. There were some angry looks from Dumbledore’s followers and the darker purebloods.
