This is an extended version of my original comment.

The draft SEL standards document offers to present to schoolchildren an overtly partisan view of how society ought to be.  

I went through the document and found words like bias used without definition, deep emphasis on groups, group identities, and intersectionality; collective goals vs. individual goals; global citizen, vs. American citizen - you get the idea.  The word individual appears in those pages exactly once - as a modifier to the word “groups”.  

The word “ethics” does not appear in 23 pages.  Neither do “religion”, “religious” or “moral”.  The word “family” appears only in the preface.

Two of my favorite standards:

"SoA2: 7-8a, I can recognize and describe unfairness and injustice in many forms including attitudes, speech, behaviors, policies, practices, and laws.
SoA2: 7-8b, I can explain the difference between conscious bias and unconscious (implicit) bias."

Unfair and unjust speech?  How are teachers to determine what is unfair and unjust?  Is there a book?

Conscious and unconscious bias?  Who defines what constitutes bias and who teaches the difference between conscious and unconscious bias to these 7th and 8th graders?

Injustice in laws?  Who gets to determine for the children which laws are unjust?  Again, is there a book?

Another:  

“ SoA1: 11-12a, I can relate to and build connections with other people by showing them empathy, compassion, and understanding by highlighting and honoring differing perspectives, backgrounds, cultures or social groups."

Are all perspectives to be valued?  Certainly not.  The Nazis had perspectives.  So did Castro and Stalin.  Who determines which values should be honored?  Once again, is there a book?

We could continue this discussion, but you are dangerously off base this approach and begging for political trouble.  I suspect you will get it.

The comment page indicates that the comments "Opened on 4/12/2021 and close at 11:59pm on 5/12/2021”.  It also shows that mine two posted today are the only comments -  from a “group” of more than 8 million citizens.  That would seem to indicate that I am either the only one or one of the few outside the rarefied air of VDOE that has read it.

I would like to think that VDOE would notice that nobody in the Commonwealth had commented in the first 18 days the document was online and take measures to get more input.  I apparently am wrong.  You would only do that if you actually wanted it read and commented upon.
