Teenagers should play badminton together in an effort to curb sexual urges and avoid premarital sex, according to guidance issued by Hong Kong’s education authorities.
The teaching materials, published last week, have advised girls and boys to “master their sexual desires” to promote “correct” societal values.
The 70-page document, which will be given to children ages 12 to 14, includes a section telling a boy and girl studying together to “go out to play badminton together in a sports hall” if they become aroused.
Another example stated that a young couple who saw another pair engaging in intimate behaviour should “leave the scene immediately” and go enjoy “the sight of flowers and trees in a park”.
Its critics have branded the document, which refers to premarital sex as “deviant”, as “out of touch” and “regressive”.
this is how we got corn flakes
That was literally what I came to comment xD
Is “playing badminton” the new “Netflix and chill”?
Sounds like China got a boomer rot too haha
My conservative dad told me about how China was trying to propagandize Americans by opening Confucian education centers in Universities. I explained to him some Confucian concepts and I have to say he got propagandized quick. He especially liked the concept of everyone staying in their place to promote social harmony. I didn’t risk talking about filial piety because he’s a narcissist who doesn’t need that concept. Chinese traditionalism and social conservatism is very appealing to people who like Trump.
One way or another they’ll be whacking (shuttle)cocks!
Hit that dirty birdie.
As an asexual woman who loves badminton, can confirm. It’s definitely not a sport that can involve running around in tight clothing getting sweaty.
I always enjoy how these guides always warn about guys and girls being alone together but never mention two guys take a break from studying together if they become aroused. I guess that’s still allowed!
Make communism slutty again.
Must be disappointed both China and Taiwan medaled at the Olympics, but they didn’t
