State Board of Education

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.

NO NO NO

Who are the school to decide that children should be taught racist, dividing, hate filled, woke culture trash? It’s no wonder people are pulling their children away from these Marxist schools and ideas. ITS NOT YOUR JOB!! What part of that do you not understand? Teachers used to be people you could look up to, now with this type of agenda, they’re just communist hate filled extremists. No thank you.

We do not need to woke culture in the public school system. Period.
