Lies, Damned Lies, and SEL
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 112
Like virtually everything in Woke Marxism, Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is sold through lies and deception. The packaging is always pretty. What's in the box is always a catastrophe. While this rule is consistent across everything Woke, it reaches something of a staggering peak where it comes to SEL. "It's just about teaching kids to manage their emotions and develop the social skills necessary to succeed in the workplace of the future and to get along with people in a diverse world." No, it isn't. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay goes through a recent low-quality article (https://iowastartingline.com/2023/02/13/explainer-what-sel-really-is-and-why-this-senator-wants-to-ban-it) defending Social-Emotional Learning in Iowa after state Senator Sandy Salmon introduced a bill to ban it from the state Department of Education. His purpose is to expose the lies and damned lies constantly used to defend and promote SEL in a real-world example. Join him to see how much these activists leave out of their deceptive sales pitches.
