Breaking: U.S. education system and Communism History shows that lasting political change often enters institutions under the language of compassion, safety, and necessity. A good example is Social-Emotional Learning, commonly called SEL, which is presented as a way to teach children emotional regulation, relationships, decision-making, and self-awareness. During COVID,... it expanded rapidly as Washington sent nearly $122 billion in federal relief funding to schools. School Districts were required to reserve at least 20% of their allocation for interventions addressing students’ academic, social, and emotional needs. Federal guidance then encouraged schools to integrate SEL into the school day. Teachers who entered the profession to educate children in reading, writing, mathematics, science, and history were suddenly expected to assume responsibilities resembling those of mental-health specialists. They were asked to evaluate students’ emotions, guide conversations about identity, administer behavioral surveys, and implement psychological frameworks without the clinical training, licensing, or safeguards expected of mental-health professionals. Once a school begins shaping a child’s emotions, identity, values, and relationships, education can move from teaching children how to think toward telling them what to think. That is contrary to the American principles of parental authority, individual liberty, independent judgment, and freedom of conscience. Is SEL operating in your school district? What is your child being asked to disclose? Who reviews that information? Are teachers being expected to provide mental health interventions? Is the program being funded with your tax dollars? What entered as an emergency response did not necessarily leave when the emergency ended. Local Action = National Impact Get involved in your local School Boards and most definitely your child’s education.show more
