SEL is Riddled with CRT - Dare County, NC Board of Ed Meeting

Are your kids engaged in SEL (Social Emotional Learning) in their school? Have you been informed? Have you asked?

In this video, one of many outraged NC parents speaks about SEL.

Components of SEL in our school district are twice monthly “lessons” that are woven into core classes, and the provider for that is CASEL (founding partners such as The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative). Website here: https://casel.org/about-us/supporters/ and their very enlightening YouTube channel is here: https://youtube.com/user/SELonTV

The other component in our district are student surveys that collect their data throughout the year - that provider is Panorama (also backed by The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative). You will want to read/listen to this article if Panorama is in your school. https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamandrzejewski/2021/10/12/panorama-education-owned-by-us-ag-merrick-garlands-son-in-law-contracted-with-23000-public-schools-for-social--emotional-climate-surveys/ and check out their YouTube channel here: https://youtube.com/channel/UClpz8CxhcmNG7YnFdl6PiQQ

All you have to do is watch some of their self-published videos to see that these are incredibly biased organizations. Ask your school administrators if they are using any SEL curriculum or student surveys in your school. They might not call it SEL. Our district just changed the name to CCSD Cares because the term SEL was “too charged.”

You can opt your kids out, but please take time to familiarize yourself with these concepts, and think about talking with your kids about them. Even if your kids aren’t being directly exposed to these things, the vast majority of their peers are - and it’s normalizing a lot of concepts in our culture by programming them into k-12 school students.
