Department of Education

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.

THIS IS CHILD ABUSE!

What you are proposing to do to our CHILDREN is abusive and criminal. You are trying to snake this propoganda into an already vulnerable and crumbling school system with hateful educators at the helm of this runaway train to division, hatred and not a scintilla of learning to be found.

You hide these agendas under the guise of 'learning' and 'guiding' but really what you are endorsing, AND MAKING US PAY FOR as taxpayers, is a hateful agenda that will eject uneducated and hateful little humans into the world with no expectancy of successful living or futures.

You should not just be ashamed; you should all be FIRED for even considering yet another disgusting and vile implementation that has ZIP to do with educating children. DISGUSTING.
