Is this wiring valid? If not, please explain how it could be corrected? I replaced the original diagram with this one based on corrections and clarifications recommended in the comments. enter image description here

This will work and seems to follow best practice.

Be sure to check that the breaker protecting this circuit is 15 Amps. You cannot use 14 gauge wire on a 20 Amp circuit.

Note that the octagon ceiling box for the first light is grounded. If the switch boxes are metal and the wiring is not in metal conduit then the switch boxes should be grounded too.

For anyone else reading this later, Ken's diagram doesn't show it but the LED fixtures must be connected in parallel. And grounded.
