Elder's policies towards [[sex education]] were highly [[liberal]] and ultimately led to her severe unpopularity. She supported the use of [[contraceptive]]s and wanted to legalize [[marijuana]]. Her most brazen act was to suggest self-abuse as a component of [[abstinence education]]. The outcry from the American public was so loud that it finally penetrated the liberal ears of Bill Clinton, and he fired her in December 1994, citing a "disagreement in policy".
