- Summary:
- Joan Blake, a teenager whose parents have tried to keep her "innocent," becomes pregnant. One of her teachers believes that such situations would be prevented if the school curriculum included "social and moral" education (now called sex education). When he prevails, two documentary films that he shows in his course are included in the film. Because one of the documentaries shows both natural and Caesarean childbirth and the other depicts the physical effects of syphilis, Mom and Dad was withheld from distribution for several years.
