Remove links to websites that undermine parental rights
 

I strongly urge Virginia Department of Health to remove links from the Virginia School Health Guidelines the Advocates for Youth website, and any other links that provide content on sexuality, gender identity, abortion access and other related topics that should be discussed with parents.  I find websites such as these (this) extremely offensive and inappropriate for children to view or have access to.  Such content as "Abortion (murder) Out Loud" and "Free the Pill Youth Council" promote topics such as sex and sexual identity, abortion access and such that should be reserved for parents only to address with their children--if and when they choose to do so, AND within the context of their professed faith (religion).

Doing so, without parental knowledge, undermines a parent's right to direct the health and education of their children in the way they see fit to do so.  Virginia Department of Health must not overstep their bounds and run roughshod over parental rights in such a manner as this.  We are sick and tired of so-called progressive agendas being shoved down our throats by bureaucrats and "educators."
