In its breadth, depth and frank embrace of sexuality as, what Vernacchio calls, a
    “force for good” — even for teenagers — this sex-ed class may well be the only one
    of its kind in the United States.

Up until this point I was thinking how much this class sounds like the "health" class I took in 8th grade. And my teacher taught barely beyond the curriculum, I sat in on another teacher's health class that probably violated all sorts of policies and went much further than this. If there were two such classes at my middle school, I can only imagine this isn't really that unique.
