Fairfax County Public Schools Family Life Education Curriculum

Posted on by Violet LaVille

Protect Fairfax County children from ideological falsehoods in family life curriculum.

Lessons contain material contrary to Catholic teaching about the truth of human person and human sexuality.  One way Catholic parents can assert their role as the primary educators of their children is exercising their right to opt their children out of any or all the these lessons.
