VDH: Completely Inappropriate and Shameful Behavior
 

VDH:

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.

These are offensive websites that promote campaigns like “Abortion Out Loud” and “Free the Pill Youth Council." They offer resources for abortion access, and they provide an animated video series aimed at young kids that talks about issues like abortion, sex, sexuality, and sexual identity, which should be reserved parents. 

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.
