We don't need no sex education...
If you've read today's Times of India, Bangalore edition, you'll know what I'm talking about.
Sex education will not be adopted in state schools. Here's what primary and secondary education Minister Basavaraj Horatti had to say:
“School-going children are too young to contract the disease.”Read the entire article here.
What??? As far as my knowledge goes, I don't think AIDS has a minimum age factor. Some reports suggest that India has the highest number of HIV affected people than any other nation.
According to the website Avert.org:
India is one of the largest and most populated countries in the world, with over one billion inhabitants. Of this number, at least five million are currently living with HIV. According to some estimates, India has a greater number of people living with HIV than any other nation in the world. 1
So Mr. Horatti, don't you think we need to teach our kids about dangers of unprotected sex and other ways of contracting the HIV virus?
If our education minister thinks school-going children are too young to get AIDS, I say he should stop schools from imparting education all together.
Why?
Cuz the kids are too young to get skilled jobs anyway!

I think you hit the nail right on the head. No one is saying that schoolkids are having sex (atleast not ALL of 'em) but one should hope they have sex somewhere in their future in which case they should be educated on how to do it safely. Or chances are they will learn it the hard way, or when it's too late.
The last observation is downright brill, btw!:)
@ushasi: Thanks!
