[Title card reads: Dr. Marion Powell talks about changing attitudes towards sex education] [An older woman wearing a pink blouse and a black blazer is seated in front of a gray curtain. She is speaking to an interviewer who is off camera.] I can remember going to a high school in the late 60s where I had passed around a condom. Now these were kids that were in technical school that were leaving school, and the Phys-Ed teacher asked me to go in and talk about contraception and I passed a condom around and the next thing I knew, I was brought up before the Board of Education and I was accused of peddling pornography, which was the term that was used. Now I see skating condoms on the street, and I think, what a long way we have come in 20 years. And I think we sometimes forget, 73 seems like a long time ago but writing about condoms or about masturbation in a syndicated column in The Star really got you into a lot of problems.
