People need to get it together. Social, emotional learning is a way to teach kids to be confident, empathic, problem-solvers with high emotional intelligence. Reading the comments on this page solidifies the fact that it is important to empower kids to THINK FOR THEMSELVES. And not just regurgitate pitch-fork talking points that are being pushed from one side or the other. There is nothing "leftist" about teaching kids to be good people. Equity does not just apply to race... it applies to anyone who is different. And it is not "giving people more based on oppression" it is giving people what they need to be successful. PLEASE stop with the political rhetoric and actually take a moment to do some research.
