Guidance Document Change: The 2020 Virginia General Assembly passed House Bill 753 directing the Virginia Department of Education (VDOE) to develop guidance standards for social emotional learning (SEL) for all public students in grades Kindergarten through 12 in the Commonwealth. The Virginia Social Emotional Learning Standards were developed in collaboration with an SEL Advisory Committee, composed of educators, community leaders, agency personnel, and parents. The Virginia SEL Standards are aligned with the Profile of a Virginia Graduate and centered in equity. This intentional focus allows the Standards to explicitly teach the skills needed to be “life ready” and to create more equitable learning environments.

“SEL” Smuggles CRT Into Schools
 

SEL is not fundamentally about social emotional learning. It’s about smuggling CRT, postmodernism, and all the other far left woke cult ideologies into the curriculum but hiding it inside something “good.” We know the playbook here, it’s obvious to everyone. What starts as one thing will become predominantly indoctrination. That’s the plan, folks. Don’t stand for it. Run for school board, the legislature, and lets ferret these cultists out everywhere they are. It’s the only chance our kids have.
