Can talking about emotions and feelings in school actually have a downside? In this episode, Suzanne interviews Marsha Metzger, former holistic sex ed instructor, president and founder of Parents on the Level and author of The Parent Navigator. Together they dive into the controversial topic that has become a systemic worldview in schools: Social Emotional Learning, or SEL. Suzanne and Marsha breakdown the impact and dangers of SEL for students and parents, including how SEL is used as a framework to justify emotionalism, school "safe places," and student surveys that collect personal data. Tune in to hear what parents can proactively do to protect their children and their values within the context of SEL.
