Remove links to websites that undermine parental rights
 

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 that should be discussed with parents.

I disapprove of offensive websites that promote campaigns like “Abortion Out Loud” and “Free the Pill Youth Council” that offer resources for abortion access. Please remove animated video series aimed at young kids that talk about issues like abortion, sex, sexuality, and sexual identity. This should be reserved for parents.

Further, do not promote materials and resources of a sexual nature that could be shared with a child without parental knowledge, and which further undermine a parent's right to direct the health and education of their children.
