25. That Might Not Have Worked

That might not have worked. You and I might be culturally-aware enough to know who those writers are and what content their novels, plays, and short stories might have, but I doubt the boneheads who developed and implemented such "traditional values" sex ed curricula have enough awareness to know much more than McCullers, Williams, and Faulkner were writers, and would probably conflate McCullers with Lillian Hellman.

A curricula based on wishful thinking and ignoring unpleasant and inconvenient truths, inflicted on the hapless schoolchildren of Mississipi with ghastly consequences.
