This seemingly harmless acronym is often pushed as a way to promote positive mental health practices in youth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Hard to complain about something like that, especially when there seems to be a mental health crisis plaguing our children. However, peeling back the layers of this concept, it smells like something much different.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">SEL <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/restoring-america\/community-family\/the-critical-race-theory-to-sel-education-pipeline\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">promotes<\/a> \u201cself-awareness\u201d in relation to identity. Well, what on Earth does that mean?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Allow me to explain. The idea is that students are taught to be aware of their identity in terms of belonging to or perhaps not belonging to either those who have privilege or those who are oppressed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Otherwise known as Critical Race Theory. Don\u2019t believe me? You can go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/casel.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a> that is the cornerstone of SEL and find articles such as \u201cTransformative SEL and Mathematical Liberation for 2SLGBTIQIA+ Students\u201d and learn all about how math as we knew it is racist and biased against non-white non-heterosexual kids.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Parents: We must stop funding failure and allowing for excuses. <\/p>\n<p>SEL is a Trojan Horse- a vehicle by which critical theory is rolled into classrooms. <\/p>\n<p>There are no measurable outcomes or data to support or evaluate these interventions.

Their counterparts in the eighth grade experienced an 8-point decline in math, the lowest scores since 2003.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It\u2019s easy to read and hear these numbers and either not fully grasp their gravity because you think your child is doing fine or you think that perhaps because you don\u2019t have young children, you don\u2019t need to worry about it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">But that couldn\u2019t be further from the truth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">This country\u2019s children are not learning math basics but are being taught how to hate each other. This country\u2019s children are not learning how to read but instead are learning how they will either never be capable of success due to their inherent victim status or don\u2019t deserve what they accomplish due to their inherent racism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you think that won\u2019t affect you because you don\u2019t have kids remember\u2026 these will be the adults who will be your nurse, your dentist, your employee, and any number of other critical future jobs that will shape your life and the future of our country someday.
