Sex education should not be introduced in schools: Vardhan

New Delhi, July 7 (UNI) Delhi BJP President Harsh Vardhan today said sex education should not be introduced in schools as this could lead to schools becoming sex spots and compel a large number of girl students to drop out.

''The government has prepared a curriculum in the name of 'Yuva' for all the schools which is likely to be implemented from this academic session itself. The curriculum prepared in the name of sex education is so much obscene and filthy that the teachers, lady teachers feel shy reading it,'' he said in a statement.

He said foreign powers are trying to harm Indian culture indirectly through this curriculum and want to ruin the young generation.

He also expressed fears that if the sex education curriculum is started, the guardians in large numbers shall withdraw their daughters from schools.

''This will put hindrance in the campaign of encouraging education of girls,'' he said.

Mr Vardhan said sex education was started in Australia, America, Canada, France, Britain, etc. and claimed that its consequences have been disastrous.

''Unwanted pregnancy in Britain (of school girls) increased by four per cent. Medicines to prevent pregnancy used to be kept in the schools. Children started engaging in sexual activities, ignoring their educational responsibilities. At present, campaign has been started in entire Europe to end sex education in schools,'' he said.
