1) In the second episode, sex ed was said to start in public high schools in 1968. Is this true? In addition, the textbook shown as being used was "Health and Human Sexuality." Was this an actual book students were used, and does anyone know by whom it was written?

I graduated from H.S. in 1971 and there were no Sex Education Classes offered during my time there which began in 1967. I attended an urban area school with a class size of about 350.

2) Were these classes originally taught by the respective genders' gym teachers?

See above - not offered but if it was that is likely who would have taught.

Lastly, my high school history teacher mentioned a few years ago that near the end of his life, LBJ felt exhausted by the tug of the Vietnam conflict, between the 'hawks' and the 'doves;' those for and against the war, respectively. He further noted that there was a poster/photograph he recalled seeing of President Johnson near the end of his life with long hair and the caption along the lines of "If you can't be 'em, join 'em."

3) Can anyone verify this picture's existence, preferably with an image link?

Don't remember seeing it myself, beginning in the Fall of 1971 I was busy trying to avoid a visit to Vietnam compliments of that a$$hole. Don't remember him ever having long hair either. LBJ library at the University of TX would be the source of info on him.

Thanks for any help, folks. That last question has particularly intrigued me for the past six years.
