Date: Fri, 13 Jan 1995 16:46:08 -0500 From: Patrick Heck Subject: FLE Action Alert Clarification Clarification to Virginians for Justice Action Alert on Family Life Education January 13, 1995 The Virginia House of Delegates amendment to House Bill 797 that would allow localities to remove Family Life Education from their curriculum. The amendment was made by Delegate Robert Marshall (R-Manassas) rather than John Watkins (R-Midlothian). VJ has learned that Watkins submitted the original HB797, but did not author the offensive amendment as reported in our previous Action Alert. Please phone 1-800-889-0229 to voice your opposition to the Marshall amendment to HB797. The Marshall amend- mend also includes provision that all students would need parental permission to attend FLE classes rather than the \ current "opt-out" procedure. You must know your Delegate's name or your district number to use the 1-800 number. If you do not know either, check your voter registration card or call your local voter registrar. For more information call VJ at 804-643-4816 or e-mail va4justice@aol.com Please forward to other Virginians and cross-post at will.
