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.

do educated professionals truly think some of the SEL language is healthy and unbiased?
 

You are either ignorant or playing into some propaganda message if you truly believe there is not questionable and biased language in this document. These SEL standards are promoting much more than social development and emotional health. There is an obvious leftist push to further promote social division an unrest. Does that sound extreme? It’s the way policy and politics/ Marxist/ socialist values creep in. Look up CRT. See what it’s based upon. It’s written into this document. Try being honest as you read what really trying to be promoted in the schools.
