Guidance document 85-7 should be rejected.  It seeks to replace parents with the State in matters it concerns.  In doing that, it would restrict the personal liberty and freedom of Americans living in Virginia, which would be completely unacceptable.  It would condemn freedom of speech, which would be completely unacceptable.  And, it would replace religious beliefs with the dictates of the State, which also is completely unacceptable.  Parents, not individuals outside the family, raise their children and make decisions for minors especially decisions that concern matters of faith.  The State of Virginia is wrong to attempt to usurp parental authority in this area through its regulatory power.  This guidance document should be rejected.
