* ArmoredClosetGay: Although never explicitly shown, Marshall Langman can give [[Series/ArrestedDevelopment Tobias Funke]] a run for his money in the "Married to a woman while implying homosexuality in everything he says or does" category.

Leslie, along with Donna, Ann and Andy, have decided to hold a sex education class at the senior center following an STD outbreak amongst senior citizens in Pawnee that has reached record levels.

Tom's gadgets are taken away from him after being charged with "driving while tweeting" after hitting a fire hydrant. He is sentenced by a judge to a week with no electronic devices. He tries to recreate his favorite technologies, such as making his own Pinterest board out of a cork board and pictures of food, clothing, and other items and an iPhone out of paper, as well as watching Jerry work on his computer through a mirror.

During her presentation at the senior center, Leslie asked various raunchy questions by the senior citizens. Her session is interrupted by Marcia Langman and her husband Marshall Langman, members of the Society for Family Stability Foundation. They cite Pawnee's abstinence-only sex education law, stating that it applies to all government officials.

Leslie goes back to the senior center, with no choice but to teach abstinence-only education. She is forced to read from a ridiculous pamphlet explaining that the human body is the devil's playground and finally reaches her breaking point. She does a condom demonstration and throws condoms at the audience, much to Marshall and Marcia's horror.

Leslie is met with an official censure from Mayor Gunderson's office. She expects to receive further punishment from Chris Traeger and is surprised when he points out that she is now his boss. Leslie makes an appearance on ''The Final Word With Perd'', arguing to get rid of abstinence-only education in Pawnee. She refuses to apologize and vows to work hard to change the abstinence-only law, despite public backlash she will receive.

* CoolAndUnusualPunishment: When Tom is charged with reckless driving for causing a wreck while texting and driving, the Judge sentences him to one week without the use of an kind of electronic screen (Tom would sooner go to jail, [[ComicallyMissingThePoint even though he'd be deprived of his gadgets anyway]]). When Tom wrecks Ron's car in the process of violating the conditions of his probation, Ron ups the ante by making Tom read [[DoorStopper a professional-grade service manual]] so that he can fix the damage to Ron's car.

* PissTakeRap: Marshall's pro-abstinence rap song.

Due to an increase of sexually transmitted diseases among senior citizens, Leslie tries to hold a class for seniors on sex education, only to be told that Pawnee's laws only allow abstinence education. She tries to comply, but eventually she performs a condom demonstration and is told to apologize for breaking the law. She appears on ''The Final Word with Perd'' to state that she is proud of her actions and intends to change the law.

Meanwhile, Tom, having been arrested for tweeting while driving, has been sentenced to a week without screens of any kind. Ron tries to help him by taking him to his cabin, away from technology. Tom sneaks out, in Ron's car, and crashes it while tweeting. Ron won't turn him into the judge as long as he fixes Ron's car.

In Washington, Ben and April are freaked out about their robot-like boss.

* GayConservative: Possibly Marsha Langman's husband Marshall, who behaves very flamboyantly yet shares his wife's [[MoralGuardians moral guardian]] attitude. He seems to be intended as something of a NoCelebritiesWereHarmed version of Michelle Bachman's husband Marcus, who is rumored to be gay.
