Here's a good reason to question the motives of proponents of childhood sex education.
Child psychologist and pioneer in the quest to bring sex education to children and former president of the prestigious American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry from 1993-1995, Dr. William Ayres, has been arrested for multiple charges of child molestation of boys under the age of 14.

In 1968, Ayres created a 15- part sex education series for KWED Public Television in San Francisco called “ Time of Your Life” that was viewed by hundreds of thousands of children in California and across the country, which many parents objected to on the grounds that it “ taught nine- yearolds how to do it.”Related Link: William Ayres facing 18 charges of child molestation
The series fueled the national sex education debate in the 1960s, and Ayres and his video series were the subject of a 1969 Time magazine report, as well as a New York Times feature which praised Ayres for his commitment to enlightening children about sex while disparaging parents who opposed the program.
