Also, as president of the Richmond and the State PTA's, Crockford led local and state efforts to promote the position of the National Congress of Parents and Teachers on sex education in public schools: “Over and over again the PTA has expressed the belief that sound education about sexuality is basic if children are to understand human development, cope with the stresses and pressures of adolescence in modern America, and become adults capable of successful marriage and responsible parenthood.”Elizabeth Hundryson, The PTA Magazine, p.20. May 1969
