I support the Board of Education's amendment to the regulation.
 

Sexually explicit material has no place in Virginia schools. At the very minimum, parents should be notified that their children are being exposed to this kind of literature. Parents should not be denied the opportunity to discuss material of a controversial nature with their teens during these critical and formative years.
