Virginia families need Sage's Law

On Feb. 16, 2023, a committee controlled by Democrats in the Virginia Senate struck down a bill, Sage’s Law, that would have required “any person licensed by the Board of Education and employed by a local school board” to inform at least one parent if any minor under their temporary care would be at imminent risk of suicide or was self-identifying as a gender different than their biological sex. Furthermore, the bill stated that if the student were at risk of parental abuse or neglect, proper authorities in the county or city should be notified.
