The ‘fuss’ over sex education In India

I don’t understand why sex education in Indian schools is still a subject of ‘taboo’? Recently, the Maharashtra government planned to introduce sex education as a full-fledged subject in the next academic year. But the proposal is pending thanks to resistance from the opposition party members.

Some of the weird reasons given for the same were it could result in more crimes against women. now that’s really ridiculous and funny! in fact it would do the opposite, it would tell people to practice safe sex and avoid HIV-AIDS.

Parents often find it difficult to explain such things to their children. at such times sex education in schools can come handy. How long can we remain conservative and traditional? All claims about it being ‘against our culture is rubbish’. It is not about aping European or other countries. Sex education should be equated to increasing population as felt by certain ministers in the state.

Its high time we say yes for sex education so that men also learn to respect their female counterparts. it’s anytime better than watching pornographic content illegally on our screens!
