This is just too much sometimes.

Al Vernacchio is a teacher, preK-12 Sexuality Education Coordinator, and chair of the Upper School English Department at the elite Friends' Central School in Wynewood, PA. He has been a "Sexuality" educator for over 25 years, and in 2011 his work was featured in The New York Times Magazine cover story, "Teaching Good Sex." Al has given 4 TED Talks and has appeared on NPR's "Morning Edition." He holds a BA in theology and a MSEd in Human Sexuality. https://alvernacchio.com/about/

Here is what Al has to say in the "Philadelphia" article: "As pornography is ever more accessible - yes, your kids are watching it." His approach makes pizza a metapor for sexual activity for the purpose of making sex easy for children to understand. In his interview with the NYT he detailed his approach:

"[W]ouldn't it be great if our sexual activity started with a real sense of wanting, whether your desire is for intamacy, pleasure or orgasms...And you can be hungry for pizza and stil decide, no thanks, I'm dieting, it's not the healthiest thing for me now." He continues, "If you're conna have pizza with someone else, what do you have to do? You gotta talk about what you want. Even if you're going to have the same pizza you always have, you say, 'We getting the usual?' Just a check-in. And square, round, thick, thin, stuffed crust, pepperoni, stromboli, pineapple - none of these are wrong; variety in the pizza model doesn't come with judgment."

In a TED talk he says, "There are a million different kinds of pizza. There's a million different toppings. There are a million different ways to eat pizza. And none of them are wrong, they're different. So what if we could take this pizza model and overlay it on top of sexual education? If we could create sexuality education that invites people to think about their own desires, to make deliberate decisions about what they want, to talk about it with their partners, and to ultimately look not for some external outcome, but for what feels satisfying." https://bigleaguepolitics.com/mainstream-mag-pushes-porn-literacy-among-children/

Philadelphia Magazine journalis had to have been been in the classroom with this scumbag creature reporting as follows: "The school day is almost over, and the students at Friends' Central sit in groups in their hoodies and jeans as an animated Vernacchio, weraing a long-sleeve lavender button-down and an eggplant-colored tie, approached te topic of the day: 'What is sex?'

He strools around the room passing out white envelopes. Inside wach are pieces of paper describing various sexual acts, from kissing and feeling someone's body parts to more advance features, like fellation and cunnilingus (which the 9th-graders have trouble pronouncing) and 'penile-penetration' of boththe vagina and anus. ' Imagine your friend just told you - Dude, I had sex last night', Vernacchio says. 'What activities would have had to happen?'

THe kids discuss the cards for a few minutes, then slowly shuffle to the whiteboard where they use their magnets to display the definitions of sex. Every group has different answers, but they all agree on one requirement: penile penetration of the vagina. Vernacchio has a problem with this and offers a statistic from a sex researcher..."

I can't go on with this. It's all here in the link. It's just too much. It's just too unbelievable. https://www.phillymag.com/news/2018/06/01/al-vernacchio-friends-central-school-sex-education/
