Removing "Advocates for Youth" website from VA School Health Guidelines
 

Please remove the Advocates for Youth website from the VA School Health Guidelines as well as any other links that provide content on abortion access, sexuality, gender identity and other related topics.  These are topics that are best discussed at home by parents when and in a way they (i.e., the parents) deem appropriate.  These topics should be discussed within the religious, moral context of a child's home life. 

The materials and websites referenced in these proposed Guidelines border on the pornographic and should certainly not be shared with children without parental knowledge.  Such materials undermine a parent's right to direct the health and education of their very own children.
