"Social-Emotional Learning"

You don't really want to know what "Social-Emotional Learning" is all about, do you?

Because it will make you puke.

...SEL first gained a foothold in federal law with Clinton's Goals 2000, designed to change student attitudes, values, and beliefs.  States had to adopt the statute's National Education Goals to get federal funding through the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA).  The ESEA's reauthorization as Goals 2000 mandated state curriculum standards and standardized tests, circumventing local control.

This led to more federalized control with No Child Left Behind, Race to the Top/Common Core, and the Every Student Succeeds Act.  SEL was key in all of these.

Goals 2000 was reauthorized under Bush as No Child Left Behind (NCLB) with heavy-handed federal intrusion and mental health grants for young children.  The Obama administration allocated more than $150 million in mental health grants to test and collect personal data of K–12 students.  Under Texas's Governor Abbott, mental health clinics have been added to public school campuses.  Now we're seeing the government taking more control with vaccination clinics on campuses.  The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), which replaced No Child Left Behind, provides many opportunities for SEL funding through Titles I, II, IV, VI, and VIII....

Good ol' boys George (the Dumber) Bush and Gov. Abbott (of the "What Borders??" party) has pushed 'mental health clinics' onto public school campuses in TX.  See what you campaigned for?

...Various provisions of ESSA either encourage or even require the inclusion of SEL in schools.  All SEL programs include sexuality, gender, race, racism, class, and the nuclear family.

The teacher union's NEA Global Learning Fellow and teacher, Wendy Turner, is quoted saying, "SEL is the foundation, the heartbeat of the classroom."  Does this indicate that CRT is the "foundation, the heartbeat of the classroom"?

The federal government is pushing SEL and Critical Race Theory into public schools through the American Rescue Plan 2021.  To receive federal grants, the school is required to spend at least 20% on SEL and "free, antiracist therapy for White educators" to get the grant....

Here's a conclusion:

... SEL is doing what it was initially intended to do: instill a new value system including socialism, population control, radical environmentalism, and LBGT.  With socialist workforce training and radical sex instead of academic learning, America now has a crazed youth and the dumbest workforce in the industrialized world.  This is a catastrophic threat to our national economy....

Hope you enjoy sending in your property-tax check!!  Only about HALF of it goes to the schools!!!
