I am asking that VDH to remove from Virginia School Health Guidelines the Advocates for Youth website, and any other links that provide content on abortion access, sexuality, gender identity and other related topics that should be discussed with parents.
I DEFINITELY disapprove of the offensive websites that promotes campaigns like “Abortion Out Loud” and “Free the Pill Youth Council”; websites that offer resources for abortion access; and provide an animated video series aimed at young kids that talks about issues like abortion, sex, sexuality, and sexual identity. I believe that these topics are reserved for parents to discuss with their students.
VDH cannot promote materials and resources of a sexual nature are shared with a child without parental knowledge, and undermine a parent's right to direct the health and education of their children.
