I ask that VDH remove from the school health guidelines the Advocates for Youth website and any other links that provide content on topics that are properly the responsibility of parents to discuss with their children (abortion access, sexuality, gender identity, etc.).

I disagree with “Abortion Out Loud” and “Free the Pill Youth Council” and other sites that encourage abortion access. This is not appropriate for the schools to encourage, because again it comes down to the values of each family. Animated video series aimed at young kids are also not appropriate or ethical!

Please be open with Virginia parents and do nothing to undermine parents' right to direct the health and education of their children. The children belong to the parents, not to the commonwealth or the teachers.
