One of his efforts was entitled "Stop the Porn" and, in addition to blaming Satan for pornography (an assertion I found hilarious), quoted some fucktard "expert" who claimed that a direct relationship existed between the number of sex crimes that were committed in a given society, and the amount of knowledge that that society's members had about sex. The obvious "lesson" being that ignorance about sex was a wonderful thing, and we should therefore return to the good old days when children were taught their genitals were dirty, girls believed they were dying when they had their first periods, teenagers having sex believed the girl couldn't get pregnant the first time, and so on and so forth. Funnily enough, all of the "authorities" this guy quoted to support his views were notorious Christian fundamentalists from your neck of the woods, so I didn't feel any great need to take any of his assertions seriously.
