Summary

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 39 Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is a dangerous scam being forced into our education system at every level and in every possible way. How are they doing it, though? Among the techniques they're using to ram SEL deeper and deeper into school districts against all sense and without real evidence is what might be called the "SEL Cycle." What happens in this fraudulent circular approach is that SEL is used as a justification to gather survey data from students in their schools. That survey data is then massaged and interpreted through equity, inclusion, and sustainability lenses to identify shortcomings in what's happening in the schools according to those ideological interpretations. Those "shortcomings" are then leveraged to demand more SEL, more DEI training, and more Woke Marxism. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down the way this fraudulent scam operates so that we can put a stop to it.

0:00.0	Hey everyone it's James Lindsay, you're listening to new discourses bullets in which I give
0:15.0	a short bullet point type summary of one topic from Oak Marxism that you need to understand
0:20.4	and today the topic is what I call the SEL cycle.
0:25.7	Social emotional learning that's SEL, we have talked about that in the past, not going to detail
0:31.5	what it is, except to say that it's using social and psychological interventions with children
0:38.0	and in order to allegedly improve their social and emotional skills so that they have better
0:45.2	educational outcomes, whether those are academic or otherwise, and in practice it gets taught
0:51.4	through what we would call an equity lens or an inclusion lens or a sustainability lens or
0:57.6	in other words an agenda driven lens, so it's important to understand and this isn't the topic
1:02.3	today, that it's not merely trying to teach your children social and emotional skills in a
1:09.2	neutral way or in an open-ended way or in a way that has a variety of different possibilities,
1:15.0	it is in a very specific way that is to raise a Marxist critical consciousness or a sustainability
1:21.0	consciousness or an equity consciousness or an inclusion consciousness, so whatever these
1:25.6	social and emotional topics are, whether it's self-management, whether it's social awareness,
1:30.8	self-awareness, relationship skills, responsible decision-making is always going to be tailored
1:36.6	through those lenses, responsible decision-making will be how do you be responsible in a sustainable
1:42.4	and inclusive way, how do you treat other people with respect, dipping not just in responsible
1:48.4	decision-making but also into social awareness and into relationship skills, how are you going to
1:53.2	treat people in a way that's consistent with inclusion, equity, and belonging, it's always going
1:58.2	to be taught through the biased agenda driven lens and it is the deliberate application of psychological
2:04.2	and social interventions with children specifically to get them to accept that particular standpoint
2:12.6	on the world, which is why I've compared it, I think quite credibly, to the Chinese style of
