CASEL
Imagine a plan engineered with abundant 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 “re-imagined, re-invented or re-visioned” education and future, a concept that has even been taught to many of our local level Chippewa Valley School board members.
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 lens 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 are revealed here to determine what is best for your family.
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 children programming and a lack of coordination among programs at the school level. “Schools are 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.””** Emphasis added.

CASEL’s proclaimed framework:
CASEL’s attempt to overwrite traditional moral values, through the lens of “equity”…

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 further information. Several well-meaning administers 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 sample of available SEL programs and sponsors.
According to CASEL, celebrating 25 years…
“The story of SEL is as old as the first relationships between teachers and students.”
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 Michigan.
Question: Why would we allow Bill Gates, Mark Zukerberg, 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.
