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.

Commenter: Social Justice=CRT=“social awareness”= racism

social justice based on Marxist ideology, class division and socialism/ greatest example of racism

The people are tired of being forced to listening to this racist garbage disguised as some good social movement. If we were allowed to speak you would realize how many people aren’t buying it. Yes thank you now I realize how bad I am and how everything I’ve ever accomplished was because of my privilege at the disadvantaged peoples expense. How can I ever pay you back. Stop; everyone’s story is different. We all have terribly tough things to face. Take responsibility, own your situation , and do better.instead of complaining.
