No to SEL, CET
 

After 20 years as a teacher in the public system I am fully aware where this all goes. This will be another SOL masquerade. Trust that I completely understand the system and how teachers will be coerced and intimidated, at risk of job loss or biased evaluation if they do not completely comply with the continued social engineering that is now being applied. This will waste yet more precious teacher instructional time (for which we were hired to actually educate students academically in key disciplines). More "training" (indoctrination) and documentation will be required limiting valuable prep time for  actual subjects. This dangerous process continues to create weaker student skills and stronger social robots geared toward one pre-determined outcome. Meanwhile, the great majority of parents learn that to protests creates worse problems not only for their children but can jeoprdize their own livelihood. I know. I've whatched it happen and heard continuous anger and frustration as they feel thier input is either ignored or mocked. Students feel the same way. This is not democratic education and mocks reality as students are told what to think, how to feel about thier skin color or gender or  morality or civic responsibility. Do not allow this deeper intrusion into lives and family. Just teach academic rigor not brain 1984 group-think.
