Requiring schools to incorporate SEL into its learning will inevitably lead to more bureaucracy, teacher re-education, and ideologically-charged curricula, lesson plans, and data collection. these standards will permit schools and teachers to be the ones to determine what laws are just or unjust, what constitutes bias (and which biases are good or bad), or even how someone is considered to be advantaged or disadvantaged. They also over-emphasize group identities and even push “global citizenry,” but disregard the value of individuality and Americanism. Children need to know it’s ok to have limits and there are lines that can’t be crossed, without enacting consequences.
