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.

Propaganda push
 

None of this should be taught in a school setting.  The far left ideology has no place in schools, which are supposed to be non partisan.  This, like religion, is a topic which must be left to the parents to discuss. It is another overreach by the government.  If it continues, prepare for a mass exodus from public education.  People will not stand for it unless they suffer from group think or are socialists, trying to destroy our country and way of life.
