Respect for Parental Rights
 

Please do not try to ban children and families from getting help with problems that the child may have with sexual attraction or identity. There are many counselors and therapists who offer caring, supportive help. Parents have to be trusted to know what is best for their children and to find genuine, responsible guidance for these very delicate and difficult situations. It is not the place of government to decide what to teach our children.

Thank you,

Sheila Jenkins
