We Don’t Need No Sex Education

The subject was to be introduced to create AIDS awareness, but school-going children are too young to contract the disease. It will unnecessarily affect their tender minds.
This is what the Karnataka Minister for primary and secondary education Basavaraj Horatti had to say about the decision not to introduce sex education. Now, I am left wondering if the minister needs some education (read the emphasized part of the quote) before he opens his mouth in public again.

hehehe….
Does this same minister who was so adamant about teaching only in the local language – send his kids to a govt. school? I do not know, but last time when a survey was done by someone in media, remember reading, that number of ministers who actually sent their kids to govt. run schools which only had local language as medium of education was = ZERO.
Well, this was unrelated example – but it shows – that if you lack some crucial pieces in your microprocessor ;-) – it impacts all aspects of your work.

Yes Apun, it was the same minister (lack some crucial pieces in his microprocessor) who was behind the move to drop English as the medium of instruction.
Nice way of putting it – lack some crucial pieces in microprocessor :-)

I think in countries with less sex education have higher risk of sexual diseases & unwanted pregneancy etc.
Avoiding the topic, even though it’s uncomfortable to think about (who wnats their kids to think of sex anyways??) just makes the problem worst
