Ban is by Government

Ban is by Government

Let me read these some of highlighted news for you.

1.One by one, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Rajasthan - some of the largest Indian states - declared that the content of the course was unacceptable for Indian children and announced a suspension of the program.

2.The government of Kerala has stopped teaching the course temporarily while a review board modifies the textbooks, excising the unacceptable elements.

3.The chief minister of Madhya Pradesh, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, wrote in a letter of protest to the Central Education Ministry that the "government has devaluated Indian culture and its values." "Instead, the younger generation should be taught about yoga, Indian culture and its values," he concluded.

4.The education minister in Rajasthan, Ghansyam Tiwari, justified his decision by describing the course material as "disgraceful and capable of corrupting the minds of the young."

5.Announcing a decision to suspend the course in Karnataka, Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy said at a news conference: "Sex education may be necessary in Western countries, but not in India, which has rich culture. It will have adverse effect on young minds, if implemented."

So there is no role for sex education in schools as far as Indian culture is concerned..
