Sustainable sexual development

Posted by Jeremy Goldkorn, November 5, 2007 1:10 PM

David Drakeford sent Danwei a link to a story on Sina.com (in Chinese) about experimental sex education classes in Guangzhou. Guangzhou's city government plans to allow more interactive elements, such as situational plays and talk shows, in high school sex education classes next year. About mid way through the article there is this quote:

Provincial birth control director Zhang Feng said the key to sex education was not knowledge or morality, but the sustainability of sexual development and the ability to develop independently.

David comments:

"Sustainability of sexual development."

I think what's happened here is the guy is used to trotting out the same old lines about "sustainability of economic development" for so long that he's ended up putting his foot in his mouth.
