  • Is the School House the Proper Place to Teach Raw Sex? is a pamphlet written in 1968 by Gordon V. Drake and published by Billy James Hargis's Christian Crusade. It was a key document in the conservative fight against sex education in public schools, a cultural issue that contributed to the development of the New Right. The 40-page document, described by Time magazine as, "an angry little pamphlet," was originally distributed as part of a direct-mail fundraising campaign for the Christian Crusade, so that the organization could lobby against sex education in schools. It became a source of unfounded anecdotes about the supposed horrors of sex education for groups such as Mothers Organized for Moral Stability. School House targeted the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), and in particular its director Dr. Mary Calderone. It described her as the "SIECUS Sexpot", and said that the group sought to "toss[...] God aside" and "to teach American youth a new sexual morality independent of church and state." Besides arguing that sex education undermined Christian morality and promoted promiscuity, the document said it is part of a "giant Communist conspiracy." It said, "[If] the new morality is affirmed, our children will become easy targets for Marxism and other amoral, nihilistic philosophies—as well as V.D.!" The pamphlet also identified the National Education Association as an enemy. The pamphlet was the most widely circulated attack on sex education in the 1960s. Drake estimated that it sold over 90,000 copies in the three months after it was published, while Hargis claimed one million overall. A more conservative estimate is 250,000 copies. (en)

C'est un document clé dans la lutte des conservateurs contre l'éducation sexuelle dans les écoles publiques, question culturelle qui contribue au développement de la nouvelle droite américaine. Ce document de 40 pages, décrit par le magazine Time comme « une petite brochure en colère », est initialement distribué dans le cadre d'une campagne de financement par publipostage pour la Christian Crusade, afin que l'organisation puisse faire pression contre l'éducation sexuelle dans les écoles. Il devient une source d'anecdotes non fondées sur les horreurs supposées de l'éducation sexuelle pour des groupes tels que . School House cible le (SIECUS) et en particulier sa directrice, le docteur , qu'il décrit comme la « SIECUS Sexpot » (la « bombe sexuelle du SIECUS »). Il déclare que le groupe cherche à « laisser [...] Dieu de côté » et « à enseigner à la jeunesse américaine une nouvelle moralité sexuelle indépendante de l'Église et de l'État. » En plus d'affirmer que l'éducation sexuelle sape la moralité chrétienne et promeut la promiscuité, le document dit qu'elle fait partie d'une « conspiration communiste géante. » Il dit : « [Si] la nouvelle moralité est affirmée, nos enfants deviendront des cibles faciles pour le marxisme et d'autres philosophies amorales et nihilistes - ainsi que pour les MST ! » La brochure identifie également la National Education Association comme un ennemi. Cette brochure est l'attaque la plus largement diffusée contre l'éducation sexuelle dans les années 1960. Drake estime qu'elle se vend à plus de 90 000 exemplaires dans les trois mois suivant sa publication, tandis que Hargis en revendique un million au total. Une estimation plus prudente fait état de 250 000 exemplaires. (fr)
