Believe it or not, but some of the religious edge cases either don’t have internet access, or don’t let their kids use it. One of my kid’s friends is insanely restricted in that regard, but that’s a public school, so I don’t doubt there’s some roughly factual information that gets to them anyway.
A private school though? I can see a person being a full adult and not even suspecting they were lied to until they run across something.
You might be surprised at how much supression of this information there is, how much fear and/or punishment tactics actually work.
Couple that with many people still having a family computer and not necessarily allowing children to have their own devices or monitoring/controlling everything they do on them, with religious homeschooling, book banning and abstenance only sex ed and you can have your answer about why some people still don’t know.

You mean why most people in general don’t know? Yeah I took it as such.
I apologise if I came off rudely though.

Oh okay, thank you for explaining and clarifying 🙂
Mummy Laid an Egg - Babette Cole
published 1994. literally all the information a kid needs.
I read it in Year R (the UK equivalent to Kindergarten)
Unfortunately, no one at her school handed out the official “Books PrettyFlyForAFatGuy Read as a Child” list so she could catch up.
I didn’t say they did. I’m pointing out the assertion “Information was not as easily accessible in the 90s” is false.
It was, and it was in an easy to read and fun format for children.
The 90s wasn’t a dark age.
Someone made an active choice not to educate this child properly. don’t blame the 90s
Yeah, it’s not that the information wasn’t there, it’s that religion withholds it.
