Who is the former head of a us health organization who was fired for suggesting that teens be taught?


to masturbate as a way to delay sexual activity?

Joycelyn Elders, the United States Surgeon General from September 8, 1993 to December 31, 1994, was invited to speak at a United Nations conference on AIDS in 1994. She was asked whether it would be appropriate to promote masturbation as a means of preventing young people from engaging in riskier forms of sexual activity, and she replied, "I think that it is part of human sexuality, and perhaps it should be taught." Afterwards, President Clinton asked her to resign.

Jocelyn Elders. During the Clinton administration, but I don't know the year. I believe she was the Attorney General. (Maybe she should've taught that philosophy to Slick Willy!)

why are things like that so taboo? i am glad she took the stage for such a cause even as obscure as it may sound.
