I don't think it even falls under civics. That's more sociology
which is 11th and 12th grade. "Social studies" didn't include
topics like dating, gender, psychology, religion (except religious
wars), alcohol/drug abuse... I don't know what planet she lived on
at that time, probably not Bothell.

We studied that stuff in a subject/class called "Health" in the late
70's/early 80's.
