TO THOSE WITH A PERSONAL AGENDA: WE ARE SIMPLY HERE TO SHINE THE LIGHT Because We Believe
PARENTS ARE THE FINAL AUTHORITY FOR THEIR OWN CHILDREN 5
introduction The Parent Navigator exposes a digital, Trojan framework in a secretive, expansive network that initially began in the health education region of schools that deliver controversial, non-academic lessons. Americans can no longer afford to be just "consumers" of educational services; we must routinely advocate for the protection of our children and future generations in this "post-trust" educational climate. It is crucial that we lift the upper lip of this unknown "Trojan horse" that is affecting the American School System in order to thoroughly examine the attitudes, values, behaviors and beliefs that are being taught (or imposed) on our students. Is this educational experiment still safe? Parents, we are about to equip you with knowledge and tools to help you determine your own level of confidence in your child's school.
REALLY? "Every collectivist revolution rides in on a Trojan horse of "emergency". It was the tactic of Lenin, Hitler, and Mussolini. In the collectivist sweep over a dozen minor countries of Europe, it was the cry of men striving to get on horseback. And "emergency" became the justification of the subsequent steps. This technique of creating emergency is the greatest achievement that demagoguery attains." -Herbert Hoover Today, mental health is the "emergency" of the demagoguery. The REAL emergency is for parents to understand the dangers of the Social and Emotional Learning framework. 7
Today's Classroom: Is this teaching or facilitating? The American public once trusted that schools were actually hiring teachers; not facilitators, tech companies or social workers to educate their children. Today, quite possibly, your student is in front of various video resources, being taught by someone that your school board most likely has never vetted. Online publishers create vast, video libraries (live and fluid) that are used in all schools today. They are unsecured and impossible to fully evaluate or to safeguard. The current belief of many educational experts is that these videos of social and emotional competencies are "foundational" to learn academic lessons. They believe that we simply cannot do without these "therapeutic" tools which begs the question: is therapeutic education what parents desire? Do parents want the school to access their child's health records or to conduct mental health assessments, or to provide spiritual formation classes? Interventions are no longer limited to academic shortcomings, now they are customized and focused on mental health therapies and arguably, indoctrinatating theories...again, without parental consent. Systems are in place including Comprehensive School-Based Healthcare Clinics with onsite doctors, designed by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), promoting "Whole Child" concepts depicting "whole" access as a benefit, especially mental health. What opportunities might this present for your child to take or to be taken to the nearest exit from your realm of influence? Sadly, many American students experience these exits, leaving their parents painfully stunned in disbelief, as you'll understand with Sage's law on page 75. These accounts are truly astonishing. Parents - our desire is that this information will empower you with tools to use that go far beyond a three minute rant at a school board meeting with little to no dialogue when you desperately need a response and understanding. We will teach you how to gain access to your school's materials based in facts, laws and truth so you may draw your own conclusions regarding safety. Who knows, you may even find that there is not enough time for any working parent to safeguard their child from what is now in motion. Parents you are in the driver seat, but there is no "set it and forget it" cruise control option for education. Engage!

Imagine a plan engineered with copious amounts of money, global influence and strategic implementation concepts where all schools would adhere to ONE framework that is capable of delivering Trojan concepts to students across the nation in the name of mental health. Now think of how such a contrivance could be used against its own country for a "reImagined, reInvented or reVisioned" education and future, a concept that has even been taught to many of our local level Georgia School Board members. Here we introduce CASEL, the Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning; an organization that is the unknown and uninvited guest in your child's world that sees all things through the lense of equity. It uses non-academic, digital resources to mold your children into global citizens by changing their attitudes, values, behaviors and beliefs. Their logo tells the story well: a globe of puzzle pieces, claiming to be the missing "piece" in education. Their plan that involves your "whole child" ranging from mental health services to spirituality; possibly operating under the color of authority, kindness and neutrality is here. Parents, it is of great importance that you evaluate all of the nuances, concepts and platforms that we reveal to determine what is best for your family. Look for links, read at your own pace, and look for upcoming workshops on social media or on our website at parentsonthelevel.com to communicate the importance of your worldview to and for your children. While we mainly focus and present Georgia laws, this book can be beneficial to the entire nation.

SEL
Social & Emotional Learning
FOUNDATIONAL FRAMEWORK: (formerly on their website) "CASEL (Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning) emerged from a meeting in 1994 hosted by the Fetzer Institute. Meeting attendees included researchers, educators, and child advocates involved in various education-based efforts to promote positive development in children. These SEL pioneers came together to address a concern about ineffective school programming and a lack of coordination among programs at the school level. "Schools were being inundated with a slew of positive youth development programs such as drug prevention, violence prevention, sex education, civic education, and moral education, to name a few. SEL was introduced as a framework that addresses the needs of young people and helps to align and coordinate school programs and programming."" https://web.archive.org/web/20210901113514/https://casel.org/history/

Social & Emotional Learning
SEL
THERAPEUTIC EDUCATION SEL harvests extremely personal responses from students and houses them in data collection systems that may even have global access. Secular concepts prevail, impressed on the hearts and minds of children, with no regard for a parent's consent or personal worldview. With SEL, the fundamental right for parents to raise their children according to their own beliefs is overwritten with varied theories to captivate the mind of the student, possibly to challenge family bonds, historical origins, traditional values and even immutable truths, all in the name of mental health for the "collective" good and a "new future". Many educators, convinced that SEL is the answer to social issues, will prescribe individual "interventions" for your child even though they may not be licensed nor qualified in mental health practices. The design for SEL often begins subtly and then takes root like invasive kudzu, extending throughout society, gathering data. In many cases, "lived experiences" replace historical facts and solid truth. One may even describe SEL as a state religion, as you will see in the following pages. Several well meaning administrators fall for the SEL trap, willing to "sign on the line" because this framework comes with a great deal of government funding and it sounds like something that students cannot live without. Communities need to become well versed in what is taking place in order to pull this proverbial kudzu up at the roots by using local control laws.
This is just a sampling of available SEL programs and sponsors.

ACCORDING TO CASEL,CELEBRATING
25years
"The story of SEL is as old as the first relationships between teachers and students."
Really?
Has SEL been known for as long as they say? When you ask a school official what SEL is, most of them will not be able to give you an answer. If you ask them about CASEL, most have never even heard of it! This framework has not been in place other than in the dreams of the people that have their eyes on a new global world government and LOTS of money. Question for Parents: Have you granted permission for data to be collected on your child? Have you been informed of any lessons pertaining to sex education in SEL programs? Have you been alerted to lessons on Anti Racism? These lessons have been found even in the most conservative areas in South Georgia. Question: Why would we allow Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Eileen Rockefeller Growald, Timothy Shriver, Daniel Goleman, or Linda Darling-Hammond and our schools to have access to the most intimate, personal thoughts of our children? The tagline for CASEL is
"We are the missing piece in education." But we really should believe CASEL is a digital Trojan horse,
the missing PEACE in education.

15 HARMFUL ELEMENTS OF SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) EXPLAINED 1. ALL 15 HARMFUL ELEMENTS OF CSE [1] (COMPREHENSIVE SEX EDUCATION, see page 92) MAY BE PRESENT IN VARIOUS SEL PROGRAMS. WE STRONGLY EMPHASIZE NUMBER 14: SEL UNDERMINES PARENTAL RIGHTS - This program is designed by CASEL[2] and similar organizations and is authorized by governing authorities to indoctrinate students and to collect the most personal data of students and their families. SEL is designed to become the “parenting voice” to encompass the “whole child” in the so-called “missing piece” of education and is promoted with dire importance as stated by their former president: “Social and emotional learning (SEL) is an integral part of education and human development. SEL is the process through which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills and attitudes to develop healthy identities, manage emotions and achieve personal and collective goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain supportive relationships, and make responsible and caring decisions.” Karen Niemi, Former President, CASEL.[3] By design, this “framework” is in the process of being woven throughout every subject, evolving like proverbial kudzu. (See page 20.) 2. PROMOTES DATA COLLECTION –See Project Unicorn[4], Common Educational Data Standards [5]Government longitudinal data bases are collecting data on students to follow them for life to measure outcomes for the working classes of society and the “collective good.” Parents have not consented to this data collection and many responses are private information best suited between a counselor and a patient. Phone apps among others are also used for students to provide data[6]. (See pages 119-123.) 3. IMPERSONATES MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES – Many SEL programs are designed to shape the child’s developing brain to accept particular worldviews regarding sexuality, racial attitudes, and other social issues under the guise of providing a mental health benefit. 4. PROMOTES PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATIONS BY UNQUALIFIED TEACHERS – “Interventions” may be “prescribed” by a teacher with limited training that may adversely impact a student’s mind and permanent data file. The numbers of trained counselors are limited in most schools, so most SEL interventions likely will be administered by untrained or poorly trained personnel.[7]. (See pages 87-90) [1] https://www.comprehensivesexualityeducation.org/15-harmful-elements-of-cse/ [2] https://casel.org/about-us/our-history/ [3] https://www.the74million.org/article/niemi-casel-is-updating-the-most-widely-recognizeddefinition-of-social-emotional-learning-heres-why/ [4] https://www.projectunicorn.org/ [5] https://ceds.ed.gov/domainEntitySchema.aspx [6] https://me2ba.org/school-mobile-apps-student-data-sharing-behavior/ [7] https://pioneerinstitute.org/featured/new-study-finds-multiple-problems-with-push-for-socialemotional-learning-in-k-12-education/ Rev 2.2.23

5. INVOLVES PROBLEMATIC PRIVACY POLICIES may disclose student data that could be used against parents in regard to the personal choices they make for their children. If situations are detected regarding gender, sexual orientation or other “sexual rights” violations, this could become a window for family disruption or separation. 6. SEL IS A BELIEF SYSTEM OR WORLDVIEW WITH OCCULT ORIGINS - originally hosted at the Fetzer[1] Institute, where “New Age” religion was most successfully promoted in America. According to the Fetzer Library[2], Mr. Fetzer is also linked to Alice Bailey, an occultist[3] and she founded the Lucifer Publishing Company (now known as the Lucis Publishing Company) and is also affiliated with the Lucis Trust[4]. David J. Sluyter, Senior Advisor, Fetzer Institute[5], is also listed as one of the founders of CASEL. 7. SPIRITUALLY, MENTALLY AND EMOTIONALLY ABUSIVE –Sacred family beliefs may be classified as unkind or unacceptable instead of a matter of morality. SEL teachings force students to choose between two leaders in authority over them (their parents versus their teacher) with opposing directives. The child is then left to “flesh out” which path is the one that will bring him the most relief in order to survive. 8. REQUIRES THAT STUDENTS ACCEPT FALSE CONCEPTS – SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity) These identities are not based in science and present false concepts as if they are based in factual truth. Some assignments force students to produce false confessions or coerced admissions regarding oppression and expressed acceptance of ideologies that may contradict sincerely held beliefs. 9. SYSTEMATICALLY UNDERMINES ESTABLISHED PROTOCOLS AND LAWS–according to CASEL: “Schools were being inundated with a slew of positive youth development programs such as drug prevention, violence prevention, sex education, civic education, and moral education, to name a few. SEL was introduced as a FRAMEWORK that addresses the needs of young people and helps to align and coordinate school programs and programming.”[6] By asserting this non-academic, incognito “framework”, they are able to circumvent parental rights protections such as Health Advisory Committees, parent reviews, opt-out forms, etc. in nearly all curriculum, making open record requests overly expansive as well. 10. PREVENTS MEANINGFUL REGULATION OR SURVEILANCE- Integrated into the publisher’s live website, updates and changes can occur at any time. When first purchased, lessons may seem helpful and desirable with little to no controversial elements; however, some investigations reveal a “bait and switch” tactic with controversial lesson updates, (woke ideology, CRT, etc.). Due to the size of these video libraries, it is impossible to pre-approve or monitor lessons, especially in live form. Investigations are time-consuming and working parents (if even aware) would not have the amount of time needed to adequately safeguard their students. 11.REVISIONIST LESSONS - Due to the progressive integration of SEL with every class, revisionist history, science, "human" geography and even math concepts have been [8] https://fetzer.org/about/history [9] https://fetzerlibrary.com/search/result?keyword=alice [10] https://www.lucistrust.org/books/about_alice_a_bailey [11] https://www.lucistrust.org/ [12] https://casel.org/about-us/our-history/ [13] https://web.archive.org/web/20210905145829/https://casel.org/history/

Rev 2.2.23
observed in schools that fully embrace SEL. CASEL promotes itself as the “lever for equity and social justice.”[1] With this in mind, it would not be difficult to transition any of these software programs into an infrastructure for a totalitarian reset. 12. SCHOOLS ARE HEAVILY FUNDED WITH TARGETED GRANTS –Learning loss is identified as a primary need[2] for SEL with abundant[3] funding[4]. This point alone requires constant investigation and becomes very detailed. 13. WAS FOUNDED & FINANCED BY GLOBALISTS – CASEL’s website reveals its corporate and foundational connections. Corporate Partners: Allstate Foundation, Chan-Zuckerberg Initiative, LG, Susan Crown Exchange. Foundation Partners: Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, New Profit, The NoVo Foundation (Warren Buffet family), Founders Eileen Rothschild Growald and more.[5] The goal of these organizations is global education and indoctrination. 14. PROMOTES ACTIVISM, ALLEGIANCE AND DIVISION- SEL is promoted as the “lever for equity and social justice”[6]. Critical Race Theory and Marxist lessons are taught regarding oppression, oppressors, “intersectionality”, race, gender, and religion in ways that promote illegal, sectarian concepts. Community organizing events and afterschool programs are routinely promoted. CASEL is committed to the morally bankrupt “woke doctrine” of radical progressives. Consider their SEL PLEDGE[7]: SEE PAGE 21 IN PARENT NAVIGATOR. 15. REQUIRES SPECIAL KNOWLEDGE TO EXPOSE SHIELDING STRATEGIES- BUT YOU CAN FIGHT BACK WITH THE INFORMATION BELOW: You will need digital access to review curriculum. This is accomplished with your own “student account” and you must insist that the administrators provide it to you, (if necessary, use an open record request). Administrators may say you need the publisher’s permission to review curriculum. Tell them digital curriculum is subject to review just like a book. Show them your state laws on parental rights of review. If a school uses the excuse of “FERPA” (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act) to refuse access, insist you only want to see curriculum, not personal work completed by students. Copyright infringement is another tactic they may use to discourage access. Politely tell them you are just reviewing it and not selling it.

Is it KIND to EXCLUDE SACRED BELIEFS BY overwriting them with humanistic beliefs regarding sexuality and gender? Is it kind to confuse students, submitting them to ideas that are contrary to the immutable facts of biology? What should a parent assume from a teacher that appears to be nonbinary, teaching students how to come out as a homosexual?

neutrality? educating under the guise of
Due to the "separation of church and state" argument, many parents assume that schools maintain a "neutrality" in their teaching concepts. Open record investigations have proven that the schools use resource materials that are nonacademic and not considered to be curriculum. Did you sign on for non-academic lessons? Parents, there is no such thing as neutral teaching and there never has been. Can an educator effectively divorce themselves from expressing what they believe to be true? Who will you trust with the heart and mind of your child? These are concepts to strongly consider. The teacher standing before your child is effectively discipling them and molding them to the standards of a culture that may not match your sacred beliefs. When your child reaches college, will they be anchored in their beliefs or swept away? Now is the time to choose how you will navigate their future.
DEI= Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. Dismantling systems, promoting student activism and call to action assignments are items you will find in SEL DEI lessons. These lessons can be incendiary and divisive.

Fewer biological females with scholarship opportunities due to masculine strength and bone density. Mental health needs will increase due to self censorship, lack of interest, & depression. "Trans-misogyny" would be declared over the school because fairness, as the law originally intended, will be negated. School resources will be overloaded with complaints & lawsuits. Pronoun enforcement among children. Children will be mandated to attend training to enforce compliance.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor warns:
“Schools exert great coercive power over children, who are “uniquely susceptible” and “particularly vulnerable” because of their emulation of teachers and peer pressure. Defendants have taken advantage of this susceptibility and vulnerability to willfully impose their own social, political, and psychological ideology and agenda to shape and control student attitudes, beliefs, and behavior relating to, inter alia, human sexuality, equal rights, and the relationship between a parent and his or her child.” Kennedy v. Bremerton School District, 142 S. Ct. (2022) (Sotomayor, J., dissenting).

What a sobering thought for a parent to think that a counselor could complete a form like this without their knowledge. It should be even more sobering to the parents if the counselor completes it online. Who will have access?

The Role of Counselor is Evolving?

It is a great idea to file a letter with your child's school stating that under no circumstances should a counselor provide any mental health counseling of any kind with your child. We can help!

The "BIG AUDACIOUS GOAL?" Coupled with HB 520, referred to as the "Next Step" in Mental Health to overlay HB 1013 or the "Mental Health Parity Act", how might mental health be used to control Georgia citizens at all levels? Counselors and Social Workers in Georgia will play a large role in this gross overreach of power. Currently, there are students majoring in social work or counseling, lured by "free tuition" that will be headed toward our schools to oversee the "Social and Emotional Learning" aspects of your child's education. Everyone should read these bills. HB1013 is now law and HB520 is possibly about to crossover as this guide is published in March 2023. Even if a parent opts their child out of the "interventions" used by counselors to hopefully protect their child from these ideologues (that fully believe in the transgender cult and all other things from the "Church of the Woke"), a parent has to trust these administrators and counselors in hope that they will honor their request. When it comes to children, how much influence should a parent risk?

The Trevor Project Parents, do you want values from Hollywood??? If your child answers a question in an SEL assignment or in a counselor's office, they may be directed to this site. Be sure to look on the following pages to see if these standards align with your own. Digital curriculum can have links within videos or assignments, leading your child away from your values and sacred beliefs. Laws are needed to enforce the need for secured curriculum so these types of directives cannot be introduced to your child. The internet and social media apps are on the increase and may bring your child into the LGBTQIA2S+ movements. The Trevor Project partners with GoGuardian, one of many "survellience" type of software that looks for troubled kids with suicidal ideations. See pages 117-118 for more information on these software companies.

According to Fox News: "Sam Brinton, the non-binary former federal government official who is now facing the possibility of significant prison time, played a key role in developing a model school policy adopted in multiple states that instructs school districts to keep "unaffirming" parents in the dark about a potentially suicidal child’s gender identity or sexual orientation."

While the thought of nurturing children through social and emotional approaches sounds helpful, these efforts also can be used adversely against children. Who do you feel is best to assess the mental health needs of your child? On both a federal and state level, we have mental health bills loaded with concerns for Americans. As of 2/20/23, we have even another mental health bill (HB 520) introduced in Georgia that brings additional concerns for how it might be used. Supported by the highest levels of the education complex, parents have every right to be concerned because there is an army of mental health workers that are being educated "tuition-free" to lead these efforts in our schools and institutions.

When we speak of education, we mean education writ large — the study of how people learn, and how they should be taught, in all fields. And that, ultimately, is why we continue to proudly call ourselves… Teachers College. https://www.tc.columbia.edu/about/
How might a New York University impact other states? Every university has influence on society, however some operate strategically to influence the entire culture. The latter is the story of the Teacher's College at Columbia University, (TC). They claim to be one of the world’s great centers of learning and research for graduate students in the fields of education, health, psychology and leadership. Further, they state on their website, "As the first, largest, and most comprehensive graduate school of education in the United States, TC is perennially ranked among the nation’s best." Numerous influencers have graduated from this university that were also heavily influenced by the Frankfurt School, bringing many of the "critical theories" that are in the news today. For a great explanation of this connection, refer to chapter six in Pete Hegseth's book, "The Battle for the American Mind, Uprooting a Century of Miseducation"

What is discipleship? What if your school hires a priest, pastor or rabbi to come in and teach your child religious concepts? Discipling a child is very sacred to many parents. What if your doctrinal beliefs are different? What if the discipleship your child receives brings them to accept lifestyles that permanently alter their worldview or physical essence? Lessons that employ therapeutic or spiritual elements can have long lasting (if not permanent) effects that may not be aligned with your beliefs. Question: Could this be used for more? How might this indoctrinate your child? What if your children are taught that your moral beliefs are cruel and should be "unlearned or improved" as we previously discussed? Your child is valuable and vulnerable. The Fetzer Institute (among others) may have some lessons that might seem kind and helpful. However, if you read through items in their library, you may feel that their mystic articles are out of line with what you desire for your family.

Between 1991 and 2017 the percentage of high schoolers that never engaged in sexual intercourse increased by 34%. In the past 29 years, the percent of high school females who are waiting for sex has increased 27%. In the past 29 years, the percent of high school males who are waiting for sex has increased 43%. The percent of black teens who have not had sex increased 212%, but the increase for black males was 319% between 1991 and 2019. This signifies the greatest improvement of any other group. Since 1991, teen birth rates have declined 73%. Eighty-nine percent of all teen births are to unmarried parents. The most recent data reports that about 29% of pregnancies among 15-19- year-olds end in abortion, down from 46% in 1986. Teen abortion rates are at their lowest point since abortion was legalized and have decreased by 89% since the peak rate in 1988.

Theory of Comprehensive Sexuality Education Children are sexual from birth? Is this "research"or pedophilia? Alfred Kinsey's famous table 34, which shows how children were abused to gather "evidence based" cases to promote the theory that children are sexual from birth. Note the ages of children and how they timed and charted their "orgasms". Kinsey's book, Sexual Behavior in the Human Male, has several of these charts. As a parent, do you believe gaining research through pedophillia is the preferred resource to use for teaching our students?

FOR THE GLOSSED OVER
If you desire to keep up with every term used in today's woke culture, may we offer some advice? By design, it is impossible! Even if one were to become the most knowledgeable in "woke terminology", the terms would "evolve" and become redefined to serve an agenda that is far more broad than just the education sector. Besides, many terms are too crude to gather in the minds of sane people. These are tools that have been made to envelop the mind to bring an overwhelming sense of hopelessness to make society think that nothing can be done to stop this madness. THIS IS NOT TRUE! DO NOT ALLOW THESE TERMS AND CONCEPTS TO CAPTIVATE YOUR MIND! Every state writes Health Standards for school curriculum. Imagine if an organization was so corrupt that it would create a set of "National Sexuality Education Standards" to disenfranchise children and families of rational thought regarding sex. Enter SIECUS and their fraudulent set of standards (and evolving glossary), created especially to influence children in American schools. Terms like "evidence-based" and "medically accurate" are projected for a larger agenda...a WOKE agenda.

is NOT an "official" government entity, but they want you to think they are. Their deceptive philosophies operate under a color of expertise and authority. SIECUS was founded in 1964 by Dr. Mary S. Calderone, a Medical Director at Planned Parenthood Federation of America. This fraudulent organization writes their set of unofficial "Sexuality Standards" for health classes. SIECUS aligns with the teachings of the Kinsey Institute that originated with the serial pedophile, Alfred Kinsey with his dedicated thesis that children are sexual from birth. His influence is alive today in our schools and parents need to understand how Planned Parenthood, the porn industry, and comprehensive sexuality education are all connected. In their world, nothing is sacred at all. Especially when sexuality is involved - even the innocence of children is fair game and many times a preferred game to enhance their business model.

California Values in Georgia? Yes! Our GADOE partners with GPB and PBS Learning Media, headquartered in San Francisco, CALIFORNIA as does most every other state. During the pandemic, over 400K downloads were watched in homes in Georgia, and the PARTNERSHIP between GPB (Georgia Public Broadcasting) and the GADOE (Georgia Department of Education) came to the forefront, however, GATEKEEPING for safety did not. GADOE has some serious explaining to do for endorsing these videos on their website that violate the fundamental rights of parents as well as circumventing local control laws regarding sex education. Below you will find the videos and a short synopsis of each one, promoting CSE, transgenderism, alternative lifestyles, sexual identity and orientation, Critical Race Theory (CRT, or also known as "Culturally Relevant Teaching"), anti-racism and more. https://gpb.pbslearningmedia.org/subjects/health-and-physical-education/personal-mental-and-emotional-health/sexualhealth/?selected_facet=grades:9-12

These videos are subject to local control laws that are usually influenced by parents. Watch these videos to understand what your State Superintendent & DOE supports.

How about a transgender teacher delivering indigenous teachings that are more spiritual in context? Do you want lessons by Ibram X. Kindi?

THE DANGERS OF TEACHING CONSENT
EXIT 8
WARNING: Consent can be rescinded years into the future. When all it takes is an accusation, should schools allow lessons to encourage early sexual activity? Is it worth risking the label of "sex offender" for your child? Pedagogy: the method by which something is taught.
Coaching sexual consent is dangerous and should not be taught in elementary or secondary schools. If your school or state has adopted the pedagogy of Comprehensive Sex Education (CSE), OPT YOUR CHILD OUT. Planned Parenthood and etr. curriculum use this pedagogy exclusively. In Comprehensive Sex Education materials, role play is often used in front of the class used to coach HOW to get consent.

CONSENT: ARE WE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME THING?
The following courses/areas may cover the act of NEGOTIATING sexual consent even though your child has not reached the LEGAL age of consent:
Sexual Abuse Programs Bullying Programs CSE Programs SEL Programs Peer to Peer teaching Internet/Social Media
Teen Dating Violence Lessons Erin's Law sessions Counseling/Intervention Sessions Special Event Speakers Phone App Agreements After School Programs
As we discussed earlier, Comprehensive Sex Educators believe that children are sexual from birth and will teach your child that they have "sexual rights". The developing brain and emotional maturity of a child mostly lacks the ability to reason or to understand what legal or physical dangers await in regard to sexual activity. It is reckless to teach students the steps to gain consent for sex when they are not mentally developed or legally old enough to enter into any type of verbal or written contract.
GEORGIA is an OPT OUT state. Be sure to ask your school what they teach. Opt out forms are usually on the school website.

WHAT ABOUT PARENTAL CONSENT???
Parents, insist that the school gain your consent regarding any lessons that may violate your rights to raise your child according to your beliefs.

Parent-Child relationships are more important than many parents realize. The "safe space" for any child should be in front of you, discussing anything introduced to them over the internet or by their peers without fear of your reactions.

Data Collection in the name of suicide prevention? Your child produces data, not just about their life, but also about your life. If your child's Chromebook and cell phone are fully accessible by a suicide prevention software and by other "ed-tech" companies, your information may be harvested and sold or used for a myriad of purposes...maybe even to diagnose "mental stress". If these companies are willing to bring indoctrinating information that sexualizes and normalizes sexuality and gender concepts, would you trust their "pledge" to maintain your privacy or to use this information with integrity for a mental health diagnosis? Since when do we trust those who manipulate children? As mentioned in the SEL section, when your student is upset and their emotions are explained through these VERY personal and INVASIVE questionnaires, how might a data response be used to gain their trust against a parent? Transgender plans, enforcing diversity officers, and Title IX manipulations are increasingly common. A certain amount of POWER can be derived from data. Be sure your student isn't supplying data that could compromise their future or your ability to protect them. Look closely at the following pages and explore their websites.

Your children live in a digital ecosystem and it is important to know how their classes are delivered. The future of education is here. Important EdTech terms are provided at the link below. Question: If your child works through Online Policy Management (OPM) systems, their courses are delivered mostly in an unsecured environment where a teacher on the screen bypasses the teacher in the classroom. This could actually classify your child's teacher as a "facilitator" like we discussed earlier. Parents, this scenario can be unsafe. Rogue publishers can adapt these lessons and gain data on students that you would never permit. It is of greatest importance to prepare your child with cautionary parameters regarding the information they would provide. During research, we have seen teachers on-screen ask students questions like who they were romantically attracted to and we have seen "call to action" assignments that ask personal questions that most parents would find inappropriate. This is an area we must take seriously to know exactly what our kids are accessing as well as who is accessing their thoughts and most personal experiences.

SCHOOL LIBRARIES EXIT 14
EVERY GEORGIA PUBLIC SCHOOL LIBRARY HAS ACCESS TO SEXUALLY INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT
In Georgia, we have local control laws that authorize the school board to approve all curriculum and library books in the school system by way of purchase or donation.
This may be done through a committee that has been provided guidance by the board and administration. Parents should let them know what they want in the libraries and make this a priority and a matter of qualification for elected officials.
https://rules.sos.state.ga.us/gac/160-4-4
ALSO: In Georgia, your board of commissioners approves all purchases in public libraries. Visit their monthly meeting and let them know what you think about the accessibility of these books for minors during public comment.
Perhaps you have heard angry parents reading sexually inappropriate books to school boards in the news... In order to make libraries safe, it will take NEW LAWS, ETHICS COMPLAINTS and WELL DEFINED STRATEGIES to have library books evaluated and secured state by state. In Georgia, there is a complaint process for books in the policy section of each school's website, where processes vary by school district. Parents, access your child's library on their Chromebook to investigate the books you find and then report your concerns. We have special training sessions to help you learn how to navigate your schools. It is common now for our libraries to routinely accept books that most parents would deem inappropriate or partially obscene. Georgia and many other states have local control laws in regard to what is accepted for both curricula and library books, so engage and bring awareness to your principal and school board members.
School Boards should decline these materials. Remember: what a school allows, a school promotes. "I got it at school, mom! What's the big deal?" 141
It is a criminal offense TO EXPOSE MINORS to obscene content
UNLESS YOU'RE A LIBRARIAN OR MEDIA SPECIALIST
The Miller Test is used to define what is obscene: 1. Taken as a whole, predominantly appeals to the prurient, shameful, or morbid interest of minors; 2. Whether the work depicts or describes, in a patently offensive way, sexual conduct specifically defined by the applicable state law; and 3. When taken as a whole, lacking in serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for minors.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miller_v._California
Consider two words: Whole & Loophole When using the Miller Test, no matter if the most graphically descriptive sex scene in your child's book could turn a sailor's face fifty shades of red, it may have been allowed because it is only "partially" obscene and may possess one statement of literary value. This MANUFACTURED "loophole" regarding the "whole" obscenity approach is intentionally used to defend inappropriate content. Could this be designed to assault the senses of your child's mind, bringing curiosity and repeat visits to the library? In order to combat this infraction, consider using the words "sexually inappropriate" in place of obscene and employ the First Amendment rights of parents in an ethics complaint. Parents have the right to conduct the upbringing of their children as well as to guard their sincerely held religious beliefs regarding gender, sexuality and even race. In Georgia you can also state that the Georgia Parents Bill of Rights is also in violation for additional effect. This applies to any and all resources or curriculum in a public school, not just the library.
inappropriate, sexual materials are legal in georgia libraries
Why? BECAUSE OF EDUCATIONAL VALUE???? REALLY???
Georgia GA Code § 16-12-104 (2021): EXCEPTION TO LIBRARIES "THE PROVISIONS OF CODE SECTION 16-12-103 (porn and obscene materials) SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY PUBLIC LIBRARY OPERATED BY THE STATE OR ANY OF ITS POLITICAL SUBDIVISIONS NOR TO ANY LIBRARY OPERATED AS A PART OF ANY SCHOOL, COLLEGE OR UNIVERSITY." https://law.justia.com/codes/georgia/2021/title-16/chapter-12/article-3/part-3/section-16-12-104/
This protects librarians and schools from criminal penalties, but not from having their credentials revoked. 143
WE ARE A NATION OF LAWS AND OUR SCHOOLS HAVE STANDARDS. WE MUST LEARN TO USE THEM. Obscenity Statutes by State
The obscenity exception is used as a defense to keep these materials in schools for "educational value" and to avoid criminal prosecution.

HIGH SCHOOL PG.70
Whether you call sexually inappropriate materials obscene or pornographic, both terms represent unethical and sexually innappropriate content that is wrong to share or to showcase for kids in any K-12 school library, laptop or classroom. First Amendment law and the Georgia Parents Bill of Rights protects a parent's natural born right to fundamentally raise their children according to their sacred beliefs. Maintaining sexually explicit books for students to access presents A CLEAR violation of constitutional law as well as a violation of the Educator's Code of Ethics. If it violates the law, it violates ethics.
Let's Recap Georgia's SB226: 1. Libraries can still provide your kids with obscene books without penalty because the obscenity exception is still in the law. (See OCGA 16-12-103 and then read the exception in 104 ...which allows no criminal recourse.) 2. Effective January 1, 2023, only parents and permanent guardians are able to bring sexually inappropriate books to the principal for review. This law actually eliminated general taxpayers from appealing unless their local school board has allowed it in their local policy. This was intentional to discourage the "weaponization" of the bill against schools, according to legislators. 3. Your school principal is the sole decider on what is and is not sexually inappropriate w/in 7 days of the completed complaint. 4. ONLY those books that have been successfully appealed through the school board are posted on the school website for 12 months. 5. Even in spite of the guidance in the Georgia Health Education Standards of Excellence, stating FOUR TIMES that pornography is unhealthy, our libraries still supply it.

All educators and board members are required to abide by a code of ethics. For ethics to be upheld, parents and citizens must uphold the code. This is a serious process against an educator's employment, so be sure to have the facts prior to filing an allegation. The very first standard states that educators must obey ALL LAWS. Your First Amendment Rights and the Georgia Parent's Bill of Rights must be upheld or the educator is in violation. There are other ethical standards that also deal with morals to consider. Read them and know in order to protect your kids.

Is Your School Upholding the Laws & BOE Rules? Constitutional, Federal and State Laws State Board of Education Rules Local Control Law There are Constitutional, federal and state laws that are to be adhered to in regard to schools. Sexuality Education is non-academic, so in many states, students do NOT have to participate if their parents opt them out. Schools that protect students from applied ideologies, that respect parental rights and that prioritize academics are rare. Political surveys and/or interventions, especially without parental consent, erode public trust. Local control laws represent the parent's voice and should always be defended. Read the laws in your state regarding the following: Open Records & Parental Rights Laws Sexuality Education (Some states will specify abstinence or comprehensive sex education, although many leaders do not fully understand the difference.) The following classes are commonly mandated: HIV/AIDS prevention, Anti-bullying, teen dating violence and rape prevention, Erin's Law (sexual abuse). Transparency regarding curriculum and school protocols. Prominent website listing of ALL curriculum - most schools are out of compliance. Parent review board approvals for selection of materials prior to adoption or implementation are often circumvented in SEL framework classes. Advanced notice on website for curriculum changes, (many states require 30 days). Appeal processes for sexually inappropriate materials in libraries. Provisions to either opt-in or opt-out of classes. (Opt-in laws provide the best protection.) Health Surveys Contraception Consent
READ THE EDUCATIONAL LAWS IN YOUR STATE! 161
More liberal laws pertaining to sex education may allow, restrict or even mandate: No opt-out (sex education must be taken) Comprehensive Sexuality Education only LGBTQ2SIA+/Sexual Orientation/Gender Identity Ideology DEI: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion/Critical Theory/Student Activism The introduction of mental health laws are increasing, paving the way for systemic, transformational SEL. State Board of Education Rules and Local Board of Education control are other areas that a parent should research. Some states forfeit their local control or "final approval" on what is taught in their schools. Those states that enjoy local control should never cede their ability to protect their students from politically motivated or sectarian concepts promoted in materials like SEL. This is why attendance in school board meetings is imperative. "We the people" hold the republic accountable. If we bow out of this sacred responsibility, a ruling class will develop and instill their beliefs on the lives of our children. We are self governed and we must become enlightened in regard to our rights to maintain our freedom. WEBSITE TRANSPARENCY: Be sure to check the website in your school district to see if they are forthcoming on ALL school curriculum, practices and RESOURCES. Many times, schools will tell you that they do not cover these issues in their curriculum, but will not reveal their additional resources. ASK YOUR DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION IF THERE ARE ANY RESOURCES USED THAT COLLECT DATA OR THAT DELIVER THE FOLLOWING: DEI - Diversity, Equity and Inclusion - also, does the school have a DEI Official? CRT - Critical Race Theory, also known as Culturally Relevant Teaching (CRITICAL THEORY can be Critical Race, Gender or Sexual Orientation Theory, all rooted in Marxism.) CSE - Comprehensive Sexuality Education ALSO could stand for Collaborative for Spirituality in Education SEL -Social and Emotional Learning OR Tranformational SEL, CASEL Aligned Whole Child Pedagogy (CDC - Centers for Disease Control overreach) Action Civics - "Call to Action" assignments Gender Plans Facilitated Online Programming (Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Teachers, Unsecured Resources)

If so, based on what standard? What are your views of data collection in SEL programming? What do you understand about DEI? (Diversity, Equity and Inclusion) Many districts across the state are hiring directors of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Do you think this type of position is necessary for our school district? Do you think creating a DEI Director position is a good use of budget funds? Do you promote parental consent in online programming? What do you think is too personal to ask in SEL programs? Do you know who finances CASEL? Is this problematic for you? How will you manage the influence of activist peer-to-peer teaching that is promoted in SEL when parents desire to opt their children out? Will there be a "safe space" for these students? What is your understanding of social contagion in regard to sexual identities? How will you protect the innocence of children? Would you consider yourself a gatekeeper of children? Please provide examples of how you have participated in gatekeeping. If provided proof of sexually inappropriate materials in schools, will you honor the will of the people that possess local control? Would you view parents as your constituents or as obstacles? Elaborate on your understanding of Critical Theory and Marxism. Are you in favor of federal or global education? Do you support the NEA or AFT unions?

In topics for sexual health, should lessons on how to obtain consent for sex be coached by teachers? Are you familiar with SIECUS and its origin? Do you believe the school should subscribe to their sexuality health standards? Have you read and are you satisfied with our state Health Standards regarding sexuality? Should students be taught EVERY body part of both genders in the grades K-2? Why? The spectrum of sexual identities is a belief system rooted in ideology. Should schools participate in teaching applied ideologies? Do you enforce the law that parents have the fundamental right to raise their children according to their own beliefs or should we adopt SEL AND DEI as a state belief system? What is a woman? Should schools acknowledge and announce identity transitions for teachers and students? If so, how do you believe these should be processed to protect the influential impact on the innocence of other students in order to prevent social contagion? What age is too young for this? Are you in favor of comprehensive sexuality education or do you support the sexual risk avoidance approach? Do you understand the difference between the two? Please explain. Many school boards and parents disagree about what kind of literature should be included in English class, in the school library, or in the school database. How do you define the term age-appropriate when it comes to literature and/or other curriculum content? For instance, do you think it is ageappropriate for a middle school student to have access to literature describing violent or explicit sexual acts? Do you agree with the Georgia Health Standards of Excellence that pornography is unhealthy? Do you agree with the American Library Association's Bill of Rights? Do you believe a parent has the right to know what materials their child has accessed in the library? Do you agree with the American Library's belief that children of any age should be able to access ALL, including sexually explicit materials in the school library? Why do most schools avoid listing the name of their Sex Education curriculum on the website even though it is mandated in Georgia law? Some hills are worth dying on in regard to the protection of students. What hills are the ones that you identify with in regard to sex education? What is your understanding of "Local Control" in regard to schools? Do you support it? If politicians are truly public servants, how would you best describe the way that you would serve parents if elected in this mine field of sexuality education? Do you believe that a child that is not interested in sex before marriage should be labeled asexual to provide them an alpha identifier in the LGBTQIA2S+ Community? Will you uphold the laws and rules of full transparency in regard to all curricula? Holiness is a very serious part of the Christian faith. Will you respect the sacred nature of sex, gender and race for those that believe in God? Secular Humanism is prominent in America. How will you keep it from securing the dominant role in our schools?

Find the search feature on their website and use key words to determine pedagogy or approach. (Equity, gender, SEL, SEX ED, DEI, etc.) 3. Check for names of company officials and research their social media. 4. Look for parent companies. 5. Read Privacy Policy. 6. Compare companies with schools's Diversity Plans. 7. Look for videos on websites and screen record to show your officials. 8. Read and check your state laws - in many states, parents should have access to all school curricula without an open record request. 9. Deal with your School Superintendent or District Office, not your principal. Be nice and secure an appointment. 10. Demand access codes, referring to the programs by name from your findings, citing payments, and respectfully be sure to reference the state laws you are standing on. The access code is like creating a new account for a student. 11. Attend Board Meetings, provide public statements but realize that the board speaks primarily with one voice and will not address your concerns or give further thought to them. Meetings with your officials are your best avenue. If our systems are flooded with adverse material, the superintendent should expect meetings to counter these measures.

Every parent should know who is influencing their kids.
What organizations are at work in my local school? How can I know if they align with my values? Regardless of personal views, schools should be transparent and reveal all sources of curriculum and instruction.
Research websites and social media, especially Twitter Who do they align with or promote? What are their core beliefs? What educational materials do they use? What is their mission statement and purpose? Do they promote peer to peer instruction and activism? Are they aligned with CSE or Abstinence?

all things considered, Do you have enough time to safeguard your student?
education training research associates PLANNED PARENTHOOD EXPOSED "etr. associates" originated in PP (and may very well be in your child's school) For years, "etr." has been covering their connection to Planned Parenthood. Some courageous Texas advocates challenged the school to alert them that "etr." was the same as Planned Parenthood, (PP). Letters were written to "etr." and the following pages will reveal to you that you don't mess with Texas! Kudos to Melissa Beckett and her team for revealing: This company is in FACT associated with Planned Parenthood as it was "born" in the Santa Cruz PP Clinic. False statements have been written to hide this information from the general public. PP established "etr." in 1980, formerly known as the "Planned Parenthood Santa Cruz Education Department" (PPSC). Information about these books is found on page 76.

Ideology is choking our schools
From the Georgia State School Board Association to the Georgia School Superintendents' trainings, the adoption of all of these methods has taken deep root, just like kudzu. 190
It is time to pull ideologies out at the roots. Illegal ideologies in schools should not dismantle our Constitutional laws or rights. Add a little bit of body text
It is time for the law to dismantle them.
What can we do? We propose that each school district develop a team, using local control laws:
District Team Design: School District Leader Individual School Leaders School District Library Leader School Library Leaders School District SEL Researcher School District Sex Education Researcher Parent Volunteers for curriculum and library book reviews

How this began...
Since 2017, I have been involved with schools as a certified Sexual Risk Avoidance Specialist educator in both Pennsylvania and Georgia. When I relocated to Georgia, my goal was simply to build teams of people that would teach abstinence classes throughout the Coastal Plains RESA (Regional Educational Support Agency) territory in South Georgia. As I approached individual schools, many times my concerns were not received; they were "managed" or completely ignored. One response was "We have our plan and we are following the data". I began to research because our children are worth far more than a mere "data" score. Sales training from past employment reminded me that the "art" of the sale begins with rejection. How could I gain access to the hearts of these administrators and not just become another person or organization to be "managed"? I had to gain their attention, but the only tool left was the law. Reluctantly, in October of 2020, with the help of some dear friends in the legal field, I filed my first open record request. I used a kind cover letter to assure the administration that my goal was to protect children and not to cause trouble. Through this method, I finally gained some traction. In other words, I had to politely force my way to the table of discussion, which was totally out of my comfort zone. I learned quickly that understanding educational law is key and there are several laws and state rules on which to stand. Once I gained factual information and evidence, I was prepared to engage in school board meetings, but even if my question resulted in a viral video, would it have changed anything? Would they just say, thank you and move on to the next person? There is NO dialogue in this approach, which is more than frustrating. I had to find another way. When my initial open record request was received by the first school district, (we cover 14) the assistant superintendent responded, "Mrs. Metzger, you really don't have to use these requests, we will supply anything you need! Just ask." I responded that I didn't find that to be the case and then I explained to him what had happened up to that point. When trying to share abstinence curriculum, the curriculum director was too busy to meet with me at our scheduled appointment time and he took our curriculum for review but never responded. When I finally called to retrieve my books, there was no expression shared about the curriculum other than a general "Thank you, but we are going to follow the data with sex education in our SEL program". The Assistant Superintendent replied, "Wow, we have some coaching to do." I agreed with him.
196
Further, to gain his attention, I had to apply legal pressure to obtain access to their online SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) programming. I pursued this because the curriculum director had disclosed that their sex education material was located within this system. By law in the state of Georgia, all sex education is open to review by local citizens, (Georgia Code Title 20 Education § 20-2-1017) and according to Georgia State Board of Education Code IDB, materials are supposed to be approved by a Health Advisory Committee that consists mainly of non-teaching parents and two students (which had not happened). From there, my tired eyes became wide open to the world of CASEL and its therapeutic education methods, unsecured curriculum, data collection, global influence, extreme amounts of government funding and more. They were also opened to the extent in which these publishers try to hide these materials from parents. I realized that our children and families are targeted for more than we could have ever imagined. Further, the web of deceit is profound throughout the American School System. Immutable, moral beliefs are overwritten with desacralizing concepts regarding race, gender and sexual orientation throughout. Interventions are designed to challenge children individually in the name of educating their hearts and minds. Spiritual concepts are in many areas and coming to Georgia rapidly. Nearly six years ago I began working in various public schools. From my experience, I no longer believe that American public schools are safe, especially for Christian students. Parents have a right to be "on the level" with those that have been given their greatest trust. Marsha Metzger, SRAS President and Founder, Parents on the Level
"When reviewing one SEL program, I had to endure over 80 lessons before access was granted for the more controversial subjects that involved sexual orientation, gender, diversity, equity and inclusion, anti-racism and illicit bias lessons. The time involved for this review was well over 50 hours, plainly revealing a strategy to hide these lessons from parents."
Who has time for this? ~Marsha Metzger

Acronyms &
ABSTINENCE EDUCATION - Sex Education that informs students about their personal timeline that they design by their choices. Preparation for sexuality is covered as a natural part of life that is consequential, and therefore is best reserved post graduation with the idea of building a family foundation through marriage. Abstinence educators do not teach students the mechanics of sex, nor do they coach students regarding consent. Their focus is to educate students to plan their education as a top priority, to delay sexual debut beyond their education and to encourage marriage. CASEL - Collaborative for Academic, Social and Emotional Learning, the gold standard for SEL. CRT - Critical Race Theory, (or Culturally Relative Teaching), one of the many Marxist tools that is used to divide and conquer a nation. Foundationally, the term should be "Critical Theory". We see a great deal of this in several divisive ideologies today: gender identity, gender, class, sexual orientation, political affiliation, etc. CSE - Comprehensive Sex Education, a more liberal context of sexuality education that involves information regarding gender identity, consensual sex, pleasure, and may cover abstinence, but not promote it. CSE - Collaborative for Spirituality in Education. Cultural Marxism - The corrosive concept where cultural elements such as racism, LGBTQ2SIA+ concepts along with others are taught and introduced to children in order to divide and weaken the family and the communities in which we live. FoSE - For the most current and fluid definitions in the woke culture, see the glossary in the National Sex Education Standards with SIECUS. They, along with FOSE (Future of Sex Education) have an extensive glossary on these terms that evolves regularly. (Warning: Mature Content) SEL Framework - refers to the the following non-academic classes that are offered in schools, aligned by CASEL, bringing them into alignment for maximum influence: anti-bullying, character education, culturally relevant teaching, dating violence, Erin's Law, HIV/AIDS Education, Sex Education, Social and Emotional Learning, Spiritual concepts, etc. Harmful to Minors - According to 47 USCS § 231 (6), [Title 47. Telegraphs, Telephones, and Radiotelegraphs; Chapter 5. Wire Or Radio Communication; Common Carriers; Common Carrier Regulation] the term material that is harmful to minors means “any communication, picture, image, graphic image file, article, recording, writing, or other matter of any kind that is obscene or that-(A) the average person, applying contemporary community standards, would find, taking the material as a whole and with respect to minors, is designed to appeal to, or is designed to pander to, the prurient interest; (B) depicts, describes, or represents, in a manner patently offensive with respect to minors, an actual or simulated sexual act or sexual contact, an actual or simulated normal or perverted sexual act, or a lewd exhibition of the genitals or post-pubescent female breast; and (C) taken as a whole, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for minors.” (Also known as the Miller Test.)

LGBTQIA2S+ - Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer or Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Two-Spirit plus more. This is a group that promotes ideologies within our country that are in direct opposition to traditional beliefs. In America, parents have the fundamental right to raise their own children according to their own beliefs. This is a world view, largely based in secular concepts. NOTE: Some children are labeled as "asexual" because they are not ready to have sex; a definition or classification that places them in the LGBTQ+ community. Your children need your leadership in this area. National Sex Education Standards - UNOFFICIAL document produced by SIECUS to introduce students to Comprehensive Sex Education theory (see page 103.) Obscene Materials - See Harmful to Minors; and see pages 139-149. Oppressor - one who oppresses, and in many cases, a term used to accuse and polarize. Opt In - provision for all parents of a school to approve all choices made for their child related to nonacademic materials taught to their children, providing the most solid protection. Opt Out - provision for parents to remove their child/children from classes that they do not want to influence their children. (Requires most parental engagement.) Pedagogy - the method and practice of teaching, especially as an academic subject or theoretical concept. SEL- Social and Emotional Learning, a Trojan framework that claims to align non-curricular health and relationship training topics. See CASEL.

(http://www.wholechildeducation.org) Woke - is described as a cultural, Marxist fixation on divisive concepts, using an equity lens for a more dominant worldview and enforcement. For the most current yet fluid definitions in the woke culture, see the glossary in the National Sex Education Standards with SIECUS on page 103.
