Del Shields, (Host) ; Mary Calderone, (Guest)
Dr. Mary Calderone (1904-1998) was a physician and a public health advocate for sexual education. Calderone was president and co-founder of the Sex Information and Education Council of the United States from 1954 to 1982. She had also served as the medical director for Planned Parenthood. Calderone's insistence that sex education should begin as early as kindergarten did not impress religious conservative groups. A bestselling 1968 pamphlet: "Is the School House the Proper Place to Teach Raw Sex?" targeted her organization, SIECUS, calling Calderone the "SIECUS Sexpot" and claiming that she wanted to undermine Christian morality and corrupt children. This program reflects her efforts to promote sex education and public concerns over sexual promiscuity. Callers also brought up myths about racial differences in sex, and worries about increasing sexuality in films.

Del Shields, (Host) ; Margaret Mead, (Guest)
Margaret Mead (1901-1978) was a cultural anthropologist who featured frequently as an author and speaker in the mass media during the 1960s and 1970s. Mead felt sex education should be in public schools to reach all children with real information. She said children now receive much of their knowledge from television, film, and books. She also says doctors have limited views on this subject, not understanding sex education in schools does not stimulate children, but gives them real information, as opposed to what they receive in the mass media. She says ethics is important in this education, but not morals, which are determined by different groups and religions. She also says much opposition to public sex education is political. Mead earned her bachelor's degree at Barnard College in New York City and her MA and PhD degrees from Columbia University. As an Anglican Christian, Mead played a considerable part in the drafting of the 1979 American Episcopal Book of Common Prayer.
