I oppose the proposed ban for the following reasons:

It threatens the fundamental rights of parents.  Parents have the fundamental right to make decisions regarding the upbringing, education and care of their children.   They are closest to their children's challenges and in the best position to ensure their well-being. 

The proposal would also deny families the freedom to seek counseling aligned with their faith. 

Licensed professionals with years of education and experience should not be removed from the process of helping children/adults work through their physical, mental and emotional struggles/challenges.
