Remove links which undermine parental rights
 

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 These concepts should be discussed between parents and their child only!

I disapprove of offensive websites that promote 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 talk about issues like abortion, sex, sexuality, and sexual identity. Again, this is a discussion which should be held between children and  parents.

The Virginia Department of Health 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.
