Please remove websites links that may disrespect parental guidance
 

I am asking the Virginia Department of Health to 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 websites offend the conscience of many Virginia taxpayers and promote controversial campaigns like “Abortion Out Loud” and “Free the Pill Youth Council”; offer resources for abortion access; and provide an animated video series aimed at young kids that features issues like abortion, sex, sexuality, and sexual identity, which should be reserved for parents.
Materials and resources of a sexual nature should not be shared with a child without parental knowledge and undermine a parent's right to direct the health and education of their children.
