Elena Aguilar’s book Coaching for Equity describes (what she says) is a real life scenario she encountered with a white teacher in her first year of teaching. She describes how she begins coaching the teacher to transform for equity. Apparently, the teacher was struggling (as
many first year teachers do), but Elena explains it’s due to her racism. The explanation of how she coaches the teacher to see her own role in white supremacy is EXACTLY what SEL will do to white children. First, get them to understand their own identity & role in systemic
racism/oppression, next you get them to make decisions based on their role, and finally make them agents for change and social justice (equity). They are focused heavily on adult SEL right now because they must get adults to push the indoctrination onto the children. #ExpelSEL

In @caselorg Transformative Social Emotional Learning brief, it states under "How Did We Get Here? Situating Equity and SEL in a Cultural and Historical Context", "Racial/ethnic and class issues continue to vex American society. Cultural analysis suggests that issues of
racism derive largely from an over-emphasis on the accumulation of wealth within American culture. Historically, this cultural value prompted some to exploit others for personal advancement. White elites promulgated racialized and cultural stereotypes to recruit poor and working
whites into a hierarchical economic system that exploited them, but also empowered them to oppress and further exploit people of color. Meanwhile, these stereotypes inculcated within people of color a sense
of dehumanization and willingness to accept marginalized status."

December 2020, @caselorg updated the definition of social emotional learning & it's competencies. The update was informed by a brief titled "Equity and Social and Emotional Learning: A Cultural Analysis (2018)" which states,
"Promoting the optimal development of all students, especially preK-12 students who have historically been under-served, can be a contentious, complex, and long-term undertaking. But it is one that benefits all. Given the prominence of the CASEL framework and its attention
to citizenship as a long-term developmental imperative, there is heuristic and practical value in
viewing children and youth as the next generation of informed, engaged, and justice-oriented citizens. Consistent with the pursuit of educational equity, we recently offered the

@ASCAtweets (provides the national counseling model for school counselors) gave counselors information on how to handle the Derick Chauvin verdict. Sadly, Education expliots situations to push an agenda and your children are their targets. #ExpelSEL #ExposeASCA #NSCW22
ASCA's Post-verdict Resources for School Counselors stated "Talk about how racism shows itself. How does a person of color define racism? How does a white person define racism? What advantages or disadvantages do I have?" & "Consider setting up a safe room (virtual or otherwise)
or an open drop-in conversation for students. This can create an opportunity for student learning, increasing awareness and connecting racism to their moral compass." The linked this article as a resource - adl.org/education/reso…

@ASCAtweets provides the national model for school counselors. What used to be called a “guidance counselor” is now called “school counselor” because they are supposed to service EVERY child (in some way) in the school. That can be through specific individualized sessions,
Class lessons &/or transformation of the school culture. Why should you care? School Counselors are trained to be (according to ASCA) SOCIAL JUSTICE ADVOCATES & influence your children to be the same. @learnforjustice “Social Justice Standards” are referenced as a primary
resource which informed ASCAs student standards. Learning for Justice is a website from the Southern Poverty Law Center which provides standards and resources for administrators, teachers & counselors. This is highly inappropriate & blatant political indoctrination by our

American School Counseling Assoication #ExpelSEL #ExposeASCA @ASCAtweets provides the national counseling model used in K-12. In their 9/21 Current Issues in Education - Critical Race Theory Issue they state,,
"Systemic racism, oppression and white privilege are
real. Both our nation’s history and current events are
rife with examples to support this reality. The impact
of racial disparity in education continues to be a crucial
conversation as educators and other stakeholders address
the painful truth that all groups of students in the
United States have not achieved outcomes at the same level." It says school counselors will "Collaborate with teachers and other school staff,
parents, administrators and community stakeholders
to create systemic change,
