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.

Stop the Abuse of Children
 


With great sadness, I see the education system of one of the finest states being watered down by the Woke left. Instead of rising to educate our young people, you focus on their "social and emotional learning" taking away valuable time in the classroom where they could be working with one another to solve science and math problems together. What better way to bring kids together than to give them the chance to work together and benefit from each other's inner strengths without even caring about how much melanin they have in their skin.  

Virginia you are a disgrace.
