Public Schools Are Avoiding CRT Ban With Trojan Horse Of ‘Social Emotional Learning’

Social Emotional Learning, or SEL, is the primary weapon leftists use to politically indoctrinate our children at public schools.

On Jan. 30, several students attending West Springfield High School (WSHS) in Fairfax County, Virginia, told their parents about a disturbingly racist video they were forced to watch at school. These students, coming from all racial backgrounds, took issue with the fact that the video displayed white people, illustrated as cartoon mosquitos, taking bites out of people of color with their “microaggressions.” In the end, the video concludes that white people don’t understand microaggressions because they do not often experience them.

Similarly, in December 2022, during an eighth-grade civics class at Irving Middle School, a feeder to WSHS, a substitute teacher randomly announced to the students that black people had to go through things that white people didn’t — and that “white folks just didn’t understand.” When I notified the school’s principal about the incident, she said she would “look into it” and then never followed up with me.

Across the county, students of all ages repeatedly are receiving a troubling message: White people are clueless and/or perpetrators, and people of color are victims. A Fairfax County fourth-grade teacher, whose classroom is marked as a “safe space” and decorated with a transgender flag, spent an excessive amount of her instructional time regarding our nation’s founding focused on the races of people in the pictures. Another elementary school teacher, on the other side of Fairfax County, went as far as having students role-play slaves and landowners to demonstrate the “economics of slavery.”

Institutionalizing Inequality in Public Schools
Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) Superintendent Michelle Reid and current school board members are working diligently to direct funds from the district’s $3.4 billion budget to integrate these messages into curriculum and institutions. They proudly claim that their foundational goal is “equity,” which includes “closing student achievement gaps … expanding perspectives [and] creating the space for courageous conversation.”

FCPS hires speakers such as Ibram X. Kendi, paying him $20,000 for a one-hour Zoom call, to pontificate on his dangerous “anti-racist” argument, that the remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. FCPS further employs “equity specialists” as administrators in each of its five regions.

DAYTON, Ohio (TND) — School district officials in the Dayton, Ohio area can be heard describing on undercover video how they would circumvent a proposed ban on teaching critical race theory circulating through the state legislature.

"There's ways around anything. It all goes back to how you dress the window," Kettering City School District Student Services Supervisor Rick Earley can be heard saying on undercover video.

The investigation from nonprofit watchdog Accuracy in Media (AIM) follows others in the state that have uncovered teachers' willingness to circumvent proposed laws against teaching material that focuses on race, class or privilege. ...
