#12b Sex Education

Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi

In the schools in Western countries, great emphasis is being laid on teaching about sex, even to children of a small age. This creates curiosity in immature minds and results in all kinds of sex-related problems among children. Most young children's minds are like clay. They can be moulded very easily into beautiful shapes. But if handled carelessly, the shape can be deformed. They have no pornographic images in their innocent minds. If they are bombarded with constant images of sex and violence, through schools, media and books, as their minds are like a photographic camera, they retain these impressions and in their leisure time all these pictures dance before them.

At that age there is no need to talk about sex because in the countries where people have not talked about sex, the children don't know about sex until they are quite grown up and they just keep out of it until they have to know. In any case, sex education is provided best by parents, father to the son and mother to the girl.

Sex education in an open classroom has the effect of exciting the children and inducing them to experiment with sex at a very early age. Uninhibited and excessive indulgence in sex at an early age causes serious health problems and creates a permissive society. The children lose their sense of shame about sex, which is an exceedingly private matter. In India, if one starts such education in any school, parents will withdraw their children immediately from schools of this kind.
