Department of Education

State Board of Education

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.

Long March Through the Institutions is Complete

The Marxists’ long March through the institutions is complete with this legislation. Time to pull our kids from public school, withhold funding, start real schools that aren’t indoctrination factories, and see how badly we can hurt VDOE. Sorry, your communist ways will not be tolerated anymore. SEL sounds nice but a cursory glance shows the intended indoctrination. Of course teachers and counselors support it; they’re pawns of the State and are too naive in their do-good ways to realize they’re pumping postmodern, critical race theory black box into impressionable minds. That’s the goal and entire history of the long march through the institutions. Even Wikipedia has an entry about it! No. We will stop the commies and their sympathizers. Parents unite, revolt, and take back the schools.
