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.

Social and emotional training is not a schools job, it’s mine as a parent so stay in your lane.
 

As a Virginia resident with children, the public school system has no right indoctrinating my children with their views. These kids come to school to learn math, science, English, language studies, and history. Not your prerogative and views on who you think is racist. This makes everyone working in the public school system for racism and segregation. I’d rather home school that have children put up with this abuse from teachers and administrators that are supposed to be for helping children think logically and not brainwashing them with senseless propaganda.
