Case Study 1 “Sex Education in the Schools” Part 1 Up until 1920 there is no history of sex education. In the Library of Congress we find roughly a dozen books prior to about 1910 that deal with sex education. One was written by R. C. Bowl. It was not a sex education book as we know them today. It had a 30 or 40 page discourse on the dangers of bad companions. Its agenda was to keep people on the straight and narrow. It was not a biological approach. One of the first people who introduced a very significant change in all of this was Margaret Sanger. Sanger wrote What Every Boy and Girl Should Know. In many ways it was not a major departure from the approach of other texts although it was very explicit about biological material (this was a departure). Planned Parenthood (PP) developed its programs in the 1920's; it began to provide clinical "services", and was not yet involved with adolescents.
