Of birds, bees and moral policing (an ode to Sigmund Freud)

The moral police have done it again. Now they have a problem with a legitimate concept of sex education at schools. Ideally, parents should impart sex education, but our society has a long way to go before sex education becomes a part of conversation between parents and children. The next best option thus is schools and teachers. Those who do not get guidance from these sources are likely to turn to pornography, blue films and other such illegitimate means. Needless to say, they will then have concocted theories about sex.

Before making sweeping statements like, “Sex education is a western illness,” the moral police of this country should get a reality check. India is the second most populated country, where AIDS and sexual offences are on the rise (remember the brutal Nithari killings). Children who are aware are less likely to fall prey to sexual offences because when you know better, you do better.
Lastly I wonder what Mr.Sigmund Freud; the man who introduced us to concept of Id, Ego and Super Ego might be feeling?? He probably must be cringing in his grave that why the land which gave Kamasutra to the world is not promoting sex education and safe sex among its younger clan.
