Puritans and their modern descendants don't like it, but there's a reason America's schools started teaching sex ed. Turns out many a soldier in WWI came home with an unwanted gift in the form of a V.D. The military even showed soldiers a film, Damaged Goods, about the consequences of unprotected sex. Sounds good, right? I mean, who would protest the government encouraging folks to limit sex outside of marriage? Oh, that's right...
The Religious Right. Not liking sex outside of marriage, several organizations in the 70's and 80's claimed that sex ed actually encouraged sex.
