Comment Period | Ended on 5/12/2021 |
Greetings,
I urge leaders in Virginia government and leaders at the VDOE to reject the SEL standards. It is not the province of public schools to provide for the emotional and social needs of children. I can handle that much better as a parent than any school teacher can. Public school leaders and policy makers must focus on academics and creating a safe learning environment. The language of the draft policy is replete with soft Marxist ideas that are contrary to American exceptionalism. Come next election you all need to dust off the resumes. You will be replaced. Failed policies are piling up high and the pubic will no longer tolerate this.
