While I do not support censoring news, but I think there are certain types of news which actually need censorship. They just are not worth getting published and getting spread and should be kept under Official Secrecy Act, if that kind of law exists!
Here is the news which I think should be censored and never see publications.
‘Girls go to govt schools, boys to private‘, says a Times Of India news!
Why ?
Well, I never thought about sending a daughter to a government school and a son private school. Most probably, the main reason of sending girl to government school is to save cost to parents. And sending boy to a private school is costly but parents feel fine spending money on their sons!
After reading this news that many parents send their daughters to government schools while sending their sons to private and better ones, I am also tempted! And that is why I think this kind of news should be censored and government should quietly work towards removing such discrimination. Either government should force the private school to admit the sister of their male students free of cost or give incentives to parents who send their both girl child and boy child to same school, either private of government.
I believe many of my friends back in Assam would never discriminate their children based on gender. But this kind of news would give them ideas! This is dangerous! If possible, this kind of news should censored and such danger be contained, till the time parents are not matured enough not to discriminate their children based on gender. Or till the time every parents in India are financially well off to send both their children to same school!
Just my thinking!
