Students need proper sex education

A UNIVERSITY IN XI'AN, Northwest China's Shaanxi province, reportedly initiated an optional course in which all enrolled female students are required to sign a "letter of commitment" to say no to the premarital sex and extramarital affairs. Comments:

True, many tend to believe that there is legal and moral room for improvement when it comes to curbing premarital sex and infidelity after marriage. However, the college should be better aware of the limits on its powers. In other words, it should instill correct marital values in its students through targeted education. It is not only humiliating, but there are no legal grounds for forcing female students to make such a written commitment. The so-called letter of commitment will end up making little difference to those students who take the class.
