DETAILED REPORT FROM PCHC 15 Harmful Elements of Social Emotional Learning (SEL)
Panorama list of SEL curricula that are often used. LINK
- A descendant of the self-esteem movement, the last educational fad is social-emotional Learning (SEL). The term sold to public schools is the “whole child,” including character and ethics education, incorporating psychological insights, and group dynamics.
- Substantive content of SEL programs and resources intrudes on personal and family privacy, making children vulnerable to psychological manipulation.
- Teachers conduct assessments of children’s emotional and social development, a task for which they are not trained or qualified, using assessment tools unsupported by underlying research.
- SEL assessments are included in children’s permanent school records, with uncertain privacy safeguards.
- SEL curricula, resources, and assessments may touch on private or sensitive matters, without parental notice or consent.
- “Mission creep” diverts resources, time, and attention away from education and encourages schools to usurp parental and familial responsibility towards the emotional development of children.
Ohio Department of Education: All in for SEL
Despite lots of concerns by Ohio parents and pro-family state school board members, as well as troubling data provided by Education Liberty Watch, and activism by Eagle Forum and Concerned Women for America, the full Ohio state board adopted statewide SEL standards by an 11-6 vote. Although there were promises made that students, teachers, and schools would not be assessed or rated on these standards, the strategic plan putting the SEL standards adoption into motion the previous year clearly states in several places that they would be. The board also voted down a resolution by member Kirstin Hill, who led the opposition, to codify that these standards would not be assessed.

Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is all the rage in government schools and education circles today, but its origins in the occult have been largely obscured so far. The truth was hiding in plain sight all along. The Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL), one of the leading outfits promoting SEL, reveals a great deal about the nature of SEL on its website. On the surface, it seems like just another tool for pushing left-wing politics and a leftist worldview on students.

The National Pulse
As alarm about the problems, dangers, and poor research related to social emotional learning (SEL) spreads, prominent new voices are entering the fray to speak against it. Bob Kellogg at One News Now recently discussed SEL’s harm to parental autonomy and the academic dilution it causes, while Max Eden, senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute, wrote in National Review about the problematic SEL curriculum adopted by New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio for that city’s schools.
The Federalist
Instead of improving classroom achievement and helping students to reach their highest potential, ‘SEL’ doubles down on failed education fads of the past.
