A Virginia bill (pdf) that requires schools to notify parents of sexually explicit content instructional materials and allows parents to review such content is heading to the desk of Gov. Glenn Youngkin, fulfilling one of his key campaign promises.

If signed into law, the bill, which passed the state House on Feb. 28 and the senate on Feb. 9, would make Virginia the first in the nation to adopt a statewide measure for reviewing sexually explicit material in schools instead of leaving the decision up to local school administrators and school boards.
