Silly Conservatism

Do you know the difference between cruncy conservatism and mainstream conservatism?

Peep India.

Citing cultural sensitivities, six Indian states have banned sex-ed in their schools.

I grant you that:
1.) Public education should not replace any education, sexual or otherwise, that parents ought to provide,
2.) Culture is the most important thing that a society has going for it, and
3.) No one wants to encourage sexual promiscuity among young people.

But come on.

A culture of life is one where sex is not taboo, thank you John Paul II. And, apparently, a culture of life can now be shown superior to old-school Indian culture.

Having been there:
1) India is crazy.
2) I have NO IDEA how to begin to change a culture that is 5000 years old and that 1.1 billion people are a part of. Ideas?
