Jennifer,
You asked about writing a letter so that breast development/breast function
could be added to a class on sexuality. I think that is a great idea! Be
positive and offer a positive suggestion. Use your own words like you did in
your lactnet post. You said:

"I just feel strongly that they missed a very good opportunity to address
breastfeeding or at least letting the truth about what breasts are really
for!!
Some of the girls have no clue what breasts are for or what they can do,
besides filling lacey bras.
The video "I Got It" was shown, a very fine video to show regarding that but
the video made no attempt to touch on developing breasts just showed lacey
bras I felt that was putting a sexual outlook on growing breasts."

Your letter could go something like this:
I attended the class and saw the video "I Got It" about sexual development
and menstruation. I thought it was a very fine video and the girls learned
alot in the class. Although breasts and bras were shown, breast development
was not really described, nor breast function (mammary glands as part of the
reproductive system). In my experience, many girls have no idea what breasts
are for or what they can do. I feel that this class would be a great
opportunity to present a short segment on breast development and the
breasts' function of breastfeeding the infant. I would be happy to share w/
you some references/handouts blah blah blah.
