Topics such as these should be discussed between children and their parents. Please 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.
We disapprove of the offensive websites that promote campaigns like “Abortion Out Loud” and “Free the Pill Youth Council”; which offer resources for abortion access; and provides an animated video series aimed at young kids that talks about issues like abortion, sex, sexuality, and sexual identity, which should be reserved for parents.
As a reminder, the VDH cannot promote materials and resources of a sexual nature that could be shared with a child without parental knowledge and undermine a parent's right to direct the health and education of their children.
