Social Emotional Learning has been called the latest revision of CRT in our public schools.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know --- CRT is a college level thing that is not taught in our public schools (though it actually was).
In our school district, CRT was rebranded "Panorama", and now there are accusations it has morphed into SEL.
At our school board meeting earlier this month, I challenged the teaching of SEL, and nobody disputed it is being utilized.
They'd have a hard time, of course, because it's listed on their website as part of their "Innovation Education".
Then a good friend of mine - a fellow conservative - told me very politely that I was wrong about SEL, that it's a GOOD thing.
Since I value his opinion, I'm fully open to hearing "the other side".
I immediately started Googling, and it appears that most Conservative sources see it as "of the debol", while most liberal sites see it as quite virtuous.
I need to work through this, so thoughtful insight is desired, but no rancor or hard coded rhetoric, please.
(I'm going to politely request that H_A stay out of this one for a number of reasons)
