Regarding information/websites proposed for VA School Health Guidelines
 

To Whom it may Concern:  The Advocates for Youth website proposed for inclusion within Virginia Department of Health Virginia School Health Guidelines for public schools should not be included, endorsed, promulgated, or made available to youth/students of the Commonwealth. The website and material is not only offensive it should not be considered an appropriate resource (though listed in the document’s “Sexual Health” resources section).  It promotes abortion, a “Free the Pill” campaign, and numerous other items that so many parents, including me, recognize as not only extremely harmful to children’s health and well-being, it IS MY RESPONISBILTY (not the government's) to educate and form my children about. This site is listed as a “resource” in the proposed guidelines, when in reality it is propaganda and misinformation which promotes the exact opposite of what our youth should be taught. Remove this highly objectionable, completely unacceptable site from the proposed school health guidelines document.
