Sexual education 2010, para. 6

Paragraph
Paragraph text
The modern State, as a democratic construct, must ensure that all its citizens receive a good education and must not allow religious institutions to set patterns of education or conduct that are claimed to apply not only to their followers but to all citizens, whether or not they belong to the religion in question. Consequently, the Special Rapporteur has noted with particular concern various instances in which sexual education has been obstructed in the name of religious ideas. He reiterates that comprehensive education acts as a guarantor of a democratic and pluralistic environment.
