I
J Edgar Hoover became a controversial figure in American politics. His parents were: Dickerson Naylor Hoover, Sr. (1856–1921); and Anna Marie (née Scheitlin; 1860–1938).
II
Hoover was educated at Capitol Hill, (Washington); as well as The Eastern Market. And then he was schooled Central High.
He sang in the school choir. But singing wouldn't make Hoover famous; the FBI made him famous.
III
Hoover attended the Reserve Officers' Training Corps, (ROTC); Hoover held certain views:
*That women had no power to vote;
*And was, quote, "Against the abolition of the Death Penalty", unquote.
IV
By 1916, (half way through WWI), Hoover, (now aged 21), obtained a law degree, (George Washington University Law School); by 1917, aged 22, Hoover obtained his Masters of Law, (MOL) degree.
V
Hoover was also member of the Kappa Alpha Order, (Alpha Nu Chapter). A young Hoover made friends with anti-vice; anti adult behaviour, (and basically anti-anything connected with sex), crusader, Anthony Comstock, (March 7, 1844 – September 21, 1915).

*Comstock, in the 19th century, also was a controversial figure. He was the United States Postal Inspector.
Comstock, (a native of New Canaan, Connecticut), applied to be a soldier in The American Civil War, (1860-5), when President Lincoln was in charge of America. Lincoln, like JFK, was assassinated by failed soldier and actor John Wilkes Booth in 1865. Comstock was part of the 17th Connecticut Infantry, (Company H). And he formed "The Young Men's Christian Association", (YMCA), based in NYC. By 1873, aged 28, he formed "The New York Society for the Suppression of Vice", (NYSSV), which, in their censorious way, took apart books, plays, and obscene material, that could offend, quote, "Good, Christian families", unquote. Upon the censoring of Nobel Peace Prize for Literature, writer George Bernard Shaw's famous play: "Mrs Warren's Profession", (1893), about a brothel owner. Shaw, who was one of Ireland's best writers, was quoted as saying of Comstock, "Comstockery, (is the world's standing joke), at the expense of the United States...Europe likes to hear of such things. It confirms the deep-seated conviction of the Old World, that America is a provincial place, a second-rate country-town civilization after all", as he vented his anger at his attack.
