Where "social and emotional learning" = climate change will destroy "Gaia" and everyone on "Her" unless the Republican party dies, Islam is the most peaceful religion in the history of the world, white people and capitalism are evil, LGBTQers represent the highest evolution of humankind, etc. etc.

Noticing the poor math skills, I’d be curious if many would be able to name the presidents depicted on the dollar bills or what the red stripes on the American flag represented, or even the basic dates in U.S. history (but of course, that all entails slavery and white supremacy).

From a linked link in the BB article.

Elevate SEL as part of the school culture – pause for 3 silent breaths as a school body together at the start and end of day, and between class periods over the PA system, build-in SEL modules into curriculum (PE, Social Studies, Health, Biology, Environmental Science); reward acts of kindness, replace detention with reflection/contemplative sessions, train students to be mindfulness/yoga peer facilitators for an afterschool club.

In May, Natasha Singer wrote at the New York Times that tech giant Google – with its plethora of Chromebooks and free classroom apps – is “helping to drive a philosophical change in public education – prioritizing training children in skills like teamwork and problem-solving while de-emphasizing the teaching of traditional academic knowledge, like math formulas.”

I’m glad I don’t have to put up with the BS that is called the public education system, but I call it the Public Indoctrination Center and Socialism System...and one of my homeschooled friends said private education is not that great either...

As long as they can understand the meaning of “(D)” or “Democrat” on the four or five ballots they are asked to fill out, everything will be OK. :)

Possibly only 37%of high school graduates should be going to college. How many of the remaining 63% can do the simple math and reading required for many non-college occupations?

The social engineering is in full swing, and it’s working. Turning normal kids into compliant insecure sheep so they can be more easily manipulated. No need to learn math, English and science, because non-Americans are coming into the country to take the kids’ jobs and eventually to replace them.

If the kids are too smart, they may resist the forced replacement and cause the government great grief. Oh, and make sure they watch a lot of “two and a half men” to turn them into slaves of their lower reptilian appetites.

Can’t have future slaves of the socialist-democrat plantation learning and thinking for themselves, now can we?

Before the emancipation, it was a crime to teach the slaves how to read or write.

This has been the case throughout history. Wash, rinse, repeat.

Interesting - I have been calling them “emotionally crippled social misfits by design” for a long time. This article bears me out.
