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 Critical Race Theory with another name
 

No, No, and No!!  This is CRT with another name.  When you teach kids or try to tell them they have what they have because of where they are from, that is wrong.  You are pushing this to older kids.  You are telling that 'A' student they have an 'A' because they are white.  Let's not kid ourselves that is who this is directed at.  What is worse....you are telling minority children who don't do well they are only here because they are not white.  We need to be teaching all students that working hard pays off.  We don't need to dumb down the courses to make kids feel adequate so that down the road they will fail because they don't have the required skills to succeed.
