School is starting, but don't count on getting answers about what your child is being taught. School administrators commonly lie or give parents the runaround. That explains the fireworks over Jeremy Boland, a Greenwich, Connecticut, elementary school assistant principal, bragging about how the school pushes kids to think in a "progressive" way that he hopes will make them Democratic voters.

It is often said that when something controversial is being pounded into the public via media headlines, there is something else that is going on behind the scenes that the public is being distracted from. This is certainly the case with America’s education system. While the public has been hammered with a full-frontal assault by activists pushing Critical Race Theory and gender ideology in the schools overtly, there has also been a covert assault from the flank called Social-Emotional Learning or SEL. Social-Emotional Learning supposedly arose out of the COVID-19 pandemic and a need to attend to the emotional psyches...

Make Them Say ItConservatives need to force radical educators into being honest about their perverse aims.A line has been drawn in the sand. On one side are the radicals shoving leftist dogma down the throats of their pupils; on the other side are parents and patriots fighting to save the children and America. The pro-America side is gaining steam and adherents, and the opposition is noticing. Which means now is not the time to lose nerve. It is time to double down.COVID shutdowns gave parents a front-row seat to the blatant racial and sexual indoctrination their children had been exposed...

Social and emotional learning is the latest trend at your child's school. SEL sounds beneficial, but that's a disguise. In truth, it indoctrinates kids with extremist ideas many parents don't condone. On Nov. 22, the Hartford Courant reported that West Hartford, Connecticut, elementary school parents are in an uproar. They're complaining that teachers are putting words such as "nonbinary" on the chalkboard and telling kids, including kindergarteners, they can live life as a gender different from what they were assigned at birth. Parents were told by school authorities that they can't opt their children out. Most Americans think parents should...

As they learn more about social and emotional learning (SEL) with its data-mining, parents are in an uproar. They're demanding an opt-out and deletion of all stored data. Some believe that if we can stop the leftward lurch of America, we can "turn our schools around" and use SEL as it was "initially intended." But was the initial purpose of SEL really to teach appropriate social behavior and support "mental wellness" and "management of emotions," or is there a sinister underside? SEL's Occult ConnectionsThe term "social and emotional learning" was coined in 1994 at a meeting hosted by the Fetzer...

Is SEL Being Used in Our Schools? The answer is yes, and it is taught alongside reading, writing and arithmetic. And, in general, that’s not a problem. Improved social skills in theory will reduce tantrums, fights, explosions of anger and overall drama in the classroom. Children do better when they learn proper etiquette and other forms of “social lubricant”, too. What’s the problem? It is the injection of critical race theory and similar political theories into the SEL program and thus bring it into the classroom. Imagine a lecture to elementary school about the gender unicorn and gender as a...

A learning focus popular in public schools has been converted into a vehicle for teaching critical race theory to elevate favored students based primarily on race.Parents normally send their children to school (or park them at the computer for pretend school) to learn academic disciplines, including English, math, science, and history. But in most public and some private schools, more and more time is being redirected from academic instruction to “social-emotional learning” (SEL)—the cultivation not of knowledge but of the “correct” attitudes, beliefs, opinions, and behaviors. If this weren’t worrisome enough to parents who thought that is their job, SEL...
