Kinsey's Sexual Behavior of the Male came out in 1947. Long before Beaver Cleaver.

Ok...and your point is what exactly? Are you saying that the media environment of the Boomer generation wasn't censored enough? Even with the Hayes' Office Code and strict standards and practices guides on TV and prayer in public schools? I seriously doubt much of the boomers read Kinsey when they were children.

To make this concrete, consider that someone who turned 18 in 1968 was born in 1950. Kinsey may have been something they read in college, but I doubt it had any strong influence in their more formative years, say 1955-1965, which was kind of my point. "Leave it to Beaver" ran from 1957-1963, probably reaching this key demographic during their most value-formative years. That media enviroment seems to have had little effect on their adult political values and moral choices, which is why I'm skeptical of the it's-for-the-children arguments. I'm not convinced it matters that much.
