Taking a critical stand on sex education, Union Health Minister Harsh Vardhan criticised sex education and termed it unscientific and culturally unacceptable. He opposed vulgarity in the name of sex education. As per reports available in media, this criticism was made on his personal website in the context of the UPA government’s 2007 decision to introduce the Adolescence Education Programme (AEP) in its original form. “I’m a medical professional who has embraced rationalism and I wholeheartedly support pedagogy that is scientific and culturally acceptable. Anything abrasive to common sensibilities and articulated as such by responsible persons should be discarded and replaced by consensually accepted learning processes,” he said.
