Group and tribalism based pernicious ideology. So you all want to destroy civil society?
 

This SEL curriculum is a terrible attempt to force children from k onwards to think of enrolls as belonging to groups and make them devoid off individual character. Why does everyone need to be identified by groups? Why are you pushing Marxist tribal division on everone? Why do you keep talking about equity everywhere without clearly defining it? You are encouraging stereotyping without even realizing it. And you are pushing pseudo science luke implicit bias, yes, look it up - the implicit bias models don't work. The tests are flawed. They are not repeatable and give different results for the same participants. Yet you want to embed this deep in the minds of impressionable children. Public schools should focus on essential education - language and sciences and keep away from any pretension towards moral education. Your morality, if it comes from a secular evolutionary materialistic worldview cannot be grounded and is not objective. So please stop this nonsense. What you have made clear is that school choice needs to become a reality in Virginia lest you all turn public schools into indoctrination factories!
