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.

Critical Racial Theory in public schools.
 

How will this help young adults function and earn a living? It won't.

Virginia statewide IQ has dropped from 104 in 1964 to 99 now. And it is evident when I go to stores and am waited on by younger ones. One girl began crying because she could not count the money properly. She is a young black woman and my heart ached for her.

This is what Virginia education has created, but your polical agenda would rather blame white people.

Why should tax dollars support this? 

This is indoctrination, not education. It does not belong anywhere.
