Just in time for the anniversary of Griswold v. Connecticut, the ground-breaking court decision that allowed couples the ability to use oral contraceptives, the Obama administration has given a funding boost to “evidence-based” sex education. While abstinence-only programs have not been cut out of the funding, more money will be going to those programs that have been proven to reduce teen pregnancy rates.

Good thing, too, because recent CDC reports have highlighted the need for comprehensive sex education, as teenagers show higher rates for contracting a sexually transmitted disease than any other age group.

Unfortunately, in some other places, the need for sex education isn’t held in such high regard. In one example, India’s parliament rejected the teaching of sex ed in schools altogether, leading most young people—and adults—to learn about their birds and bees through a popular newspaper column “Ask the Sexpert.” The column is written by Dr. Mahinder Watsa, an 85-year-old gynecologist and sex counselor who thankfully discusses topics—as complicated as G-spots, and as simple as where babies come from—that the Indian education system unfortunately ignores.
