A Pennsylvania English teacher Al Vernacchio told The New York Times that he included pornographic photographs and a video within his sexuality lesson plans.
The Times reported,"The lessons that tend to raise eyebrows outside the school, according to Vernacchio, are a medical research video he shows of a woman ejaculating — students are allowed to excuse themselves if they prefer not to watch — and a couple of dozen up-close photographs of vulvas and penises. The photos, Vernacchio said, are intended to show his charges the broad range of what’s out there.
"It’s really a process of desensitizing them to what real genitals look like, so they’ll be less freaked out by their own and, one day, their partner’s," the teacher added. . Students had the option to opt out from viewing the nude images and parents sign off on enrollments. "Al Vernacchio is a nationally renowned and highly respected educator. It is disappointing that his work and our School are being miscast so thoroughly.
"[The students] have no point of reference for what a normal, healthy vulva looks like, even their own," Vernacchio said.
