Pop culture has been saturated with sex devoid of morality for at least forty years. It’s a stretch to pretend that school sex ed classes have more of an influence than thousands of hours of music and videos with exactly the same message.
Sex Ed was put in the schools in 1970. There has been studies on the effects-—I have read books on the “change” in behavior of children. if you look at all the stats-—sex, STD’s, promiscuity, abortions, etc. all went WAY up in the 70’s. It was unheard of to have 12 year olds engage in consensual sex in 1970. It was normalized in the classroom and removal of shame by dealing with a private, intimate “act” in the classroom which removes morality from it-—the “everyone” does it is taught to children and they don’t want to “feel” like an outsider.
True-—the obscenity laws were removed from the media and God removed from the schools by law-—so it was not just “one” thing. Everything the kids were exposed to was encouraging promiscuous sex and masturbation. They reduced ‘sex” to a joke with the “cucumbers” and condoms-—reduced the act to meaninglessness. Stripped it of all morals-—which will destroy all long lasting relationships (and children).
It also was when they changed “day care” to “Preschool” and had “no fault” so that children were latch key kids and had no one home when they came home from school. That hardly happen until after the 60’s-to get little kids out of the home where values and character are built, so they learn everything from (atheist) strangers and TV.
