About This Quote
Bill Clinton was the president of the United States during the year 1997. When he was the governor of Arkansas, he served as a role model for many teenagers, especially girls. However, his presidency was very different from his governorship. The Clinton administration was largely known for its scandal.
Bill Clinton had an affair with Monica Lewinsky. She was his White House intern and they had an inappropriate relationship at the workplace. Because of this scandal, many people were worried that American teenagers were being corrupted by these kinds of scandals.
They worried that the only way to have teenagers who are good people is to raise them in a bubble where no one is ever exposed to such things.
