- New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 5
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is one of the hottest scams in academia, but what is it? It is a psychological grooming mechanism used to open up children through "social" and "emotional" means to Woke Marxist ideology and praxis. It is clinical psychology practiced without a license in uncontrolled, non-therapeutic spaces on groups of children with no mental disease. It is a data-mining scheme used to probe our nations' children so they can be better propagandized in the future. Join James Lindsay in this quick episode of New Discourses Bullets to break it all down.

I’m a public school teacher and I couldn’t really understand why teachers were pushed to be more of a parent/counselor/friend and less of a teacher which makes for a stressed out teacher and kids with more and more issues that simply can’t be resolved in the classroom.
Fellow public school teacher here! We have reached the point where parents expect us to teach behavioral practices they should have learned at home. So much of my time as an educator is wasted in worthless PTCs where parents have to be told that their children should not be up all night playing Apex or watching videos on social media when they have class the next day, that allowing their children to miss 1-4 days of school every week is unacceptable, and that assaulting someone just because they called you a childish name is not an appropriate response. The expectation used to be that we would help reinforce values established in the home, but now, I feel too many adults who want children, never actually wanted to be parents in the first place. It's up to the system to raise their children for them.
But aren't you already being asked to talk about student feelings? These activities - and these are just activities to supplement instruction - are just systematic suggestions to do something that teachers are already being called on to do all the time.
I agree. I think teachers are already overburdened with teaching. I say schools need to hire more counselors and social workers who can push in and do SEL exercises.
@@TickleMeElmo55 That's a really interesting idea. I wish schools were investigating ideas like this instead of putting pressure on classroom teachers to stop working on new ways to improve their instruction.
@@scottsommers2068 they are doing more than investigating. title 9, human resources, and anti-bias style departments have been in your public schools for years. they're actually the wrong way to go, and, so is what you're putting forth.
Did we listen to the same talk?
Right now my 9 year old daughter is being given an "Approaching" (bottom of the scale) for something called "Being a good global citizen." I'm like: 'That's my girl!'
"There's no such thing as a "global citizen." Citizenship is having full rights and participation in a state or under a sovereign, most importantly including suffrage, and no such global hegemon exists. It's a Marxist Trojan Horse for their goal of global Communism.
I hear Woke and Woke-adjacent people saying they're "global citizens" or raising their kids to be "global citizens" all the time. Uncomfortably often. The term has two obvious meanings, and the accurate one describes something that doesn't exist. This should concern you.
There's an important lesson here in how Marxian Trojan Horse terms work. A false concept that can be made true as a goal (global citizen) that will be misinterpreted as someone nice (participants in a globally interconnected world) applied, accepted, and then switched later.
The idea behind a term like "global citizen" is to get people used to thinking of themselves that way, including especially in terms of the responsibilities of citizenship, even though no sovereign exists in which those responsibilities are connected to representation.
When sufficiently many people think this way and accept that role, a global hegemon can assert itself with mass support to "represent" the global citizens who already see themselves as such. It will "make sense." But that global sovereign is going to be Communistic or fascistic." - James Lindsay
Depends on what they mean by "global citizen."
B C
Do you want to turn your child into a terrorist?
Being a global citizen is not a bad thing.
We all live here. What you don't like your home?
@@TickleMeElmo55 Globalist marxism. Heh.... yay.
@@TickleMeElmo55 they fucking redefine everything don't they?
and they do it such that when non-woke people hear it, it goes by unflagged as a threat.
It's just like how viruses bypass the immune system and hijack the host's DNA replication apparatus.
In fact, the woke founders make the comparison to viruses and cancer themselves, in a positive way. shocker.
Allowing politicians and government agents to raise our children is a huge conflict of interest.
we prevent competition between schools to win customers/students, and lock them into geographical locales just like how HMO medical insurance does. That's a recipe for disaster.
We should have always let the free market provide education, where the better teachers get chosen and paid more, schools compete to win customers, so they're incentivized to improve actual learning techniques, copy what works when one competitor blows the others out of the water, and creates a de-regulated way where innovation can happen without first devoting your entire career to politics, jumping through hoops, or getting approval from a superintendent, the county, the courts, and the state.
Some people will teach whatever garbage they want, but the fierce competition would create an abundance of options (as well as non-profits and charities for education).
Just like how yes, some restaurant COULD serve bad food, but they will quickly find that customers will choose to get food elsewhere.
We have created a poverty and shortage of education options and innovation, even chasing out hopeful and passionate teachers with bureaucracy and stuffing their schedules full of the exact prescribed cookie-cutter curriculum so that there isn't even room if they wanted to.
@@gwho
Extremely well said..
James Lindsay is going down in the history books as a Hero & progenitor of...
*The Great American Restoration!*
I've known some licensed psychologists who shouldn't have been practicing. No way I want a random school teacher doing it.
No. I get them from the book publishers.
I lived with a psychotherapist who was not a level headed person & she was in massive debt. Maybe some of them are good but doing this in schools mandatorily bypasses CONSENT to mental treatment.
@@emmalouie1663 You have bad choice in roommates, and this is somehow related to psychology and schooling? I've read SEL manuals from publishers. There's nothing radical in them that hasn't been practiced in classrooms for decades. I can't even understand what Lindsay is talking about. It's important that he doesn't provide any examples. If he did, you'd recognize his protest immediately as being silly.
@@scottsommers2068 Like the examples you've provided based on your anecdote? The basic premise of his argument is valid: it is against the law in the US to practice therapy without a license and to have unwilling participants. You claim he hasn't demonstrated that this is going on, fair enough, but your refutation is empty and weak by that same standard.
@@PerfectTangent What do you mean by practicing therapy with a license? And this somehow violating a federal law? I know Lindsay said something like that. I have no idea what this means. Do you mean psychotherapy? This is licensed by states. You don't need to have a license to practice psychotherapy, but you can get a license. I think you're confusing psychotherapy and psychology. You can't call yourself a 'psychologist' unless you are licensed. But anyone can do psychotherapy.
I wonder why they're trying to get away from objectivity and logic. Except... I'm not sure I actually wonder.
Because logic and rational are societal building blocks, so if you start discounting those it’ll
“accelerate the contradictions” as it were
I'm reminded of arguments I had with creationists back in the day. My response is the same: God is a rational being, and gave us our reason for a purpose. Don't abandon reason just because you don't like where you _think_ it leads.
@@cordsman Sure as heck looks that way don't it. What gets me is none of these people will be held accountable for the hell they are creating.
Objectivity and logic are elements of the perpetuation of oppressive systems disenfranchising historically marginalized communities and impediments to transformative conscientization.
My ultra-left county's public schools have blown right past SEL. In documents pried out of the Montgomery County (MD) Public School system by Judicial Watch, it turns out that it is using "psychoeducational" lessons on race in fourth through eighth grades. In brief, "psychoeducational" is defined as, "a form of education that is specifically offered to individuals who are suffering from any one of several distinct mental health conditions impairing their ability to lead their lives." By giving such "lessons" to all fourth though eighth graders the school system must consider them to have "mental health conditions impairing their ability to lead their lives," and is using teachers as their therapist. It is appropriate for the following "distinct mental health conditions: "Some of the various conditions that may merit psychoeducational intervention include various anxiety disorders, personality disorders, psychotic illnesses, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and clinical depression." But they are using it to "treat" presumed racism. This country's public schools have gone completely insane yet presume to give psychological "treatment" to perfectly healthy children.
I grew up with a bevy of psychological/learning disorders. I was one of the kids in the 90s that _actually required_ Ritalin. I shudder to think how I'd fare in the current pre-K-to-12 environment.
@@Xbalanque84 I was thinking about that...The whole Ritalin controversy. I thought it was horrid what the schools were doing to many children then. This seems to be a bizarre extension of super-arrogant overlordship of other people's children.
Geez...I thought all this psycho/emotional stuff was what school counselors are for. Why the heck are teachers even accepting they have to deal with this garbage?
Teachers are well, teachers. If a kid needs counseling, then go to the darn counselor.
@@serpentines6356 The teachers swallow it because they are not only indoctrinated in it when they were K-12, but also in university teacher colleges, where they do not learn subject material to be taught, but these theories of teaching which indoctrinate the teachers to be good indoctrinators of children.
SEL isn't a bad thing. SEL has been hijacked by The Woke; don't dismiss SEL since you have to go case by base, district by district.
so this is why North Carolina passed a law that the teachers cannot be sued for practicing psychology without a license - because that is what they are doing.
I have an autistic child. His teachers pushed him to his breaking point with SEL, to the point where he was having very severe meltdowns which were traumatic for him and everyone else. Luckily special needs parents call all the shots. We had the ability to get them to teach him appropriately because we have an IEP (individualized education plan). Every kid deserves that honestly.
"every kid deserves that honestly"
Only if they qualify for an IEP or a 504.
"Luckily special needs parents call all the shots. "
And sometimes the calls are not informed to the detriment of the child. Some parents refuse to acknowledge their kid is on the autism spectrum. Some parents act as if they own the SPED department. If anything, it should be a balance between parent and professionals aiding the student. Parent's shouldn't act like they're king simply for the fact they are the parent.
Background: School social worker who does IEPs and 504s. Many students have autism. Met many idiotic, asshole parents in SPED.
Srslyskt
Funny my autistic daughter got a lot out of SEL.
It taught her to able to ask for a break when she was overwhelmed. It was a key part of why she learned to advocate for herself.
She is now in her third year of college studying programing.
Maybe your child's teachers didn't really understand the program.
@@dgm2485
So you hate the school
And
You hate the parents?
I see why you like to listen to James Lindsay.
@@dgm2485
I am glad someone agrees with me here.
Thanks
@@mikeoveli1028 Just because someone is concerned about a situation does not mean they hate the people involved.
It would tremendously help if you actually listed out bullet points of these terms
If you look at the length of his regular videos, you'll see this is a bullet point.
@@BC-yd6dl I meant it as a functional list of terms on the video. I understand it would take more editing efforts to create. But since it is just a static screen, he could simply make a power point presentation while he is reading along to pop up words with their definitions like “Pedagogy”
Check out their translation from the wokish. On their website.
There is nothing preventing you from creating such a document.
@@gliding98 what a worthless comment
Okay, I haven't watched the video yet, but every time I hear the phrase "social emotional learning," several nodes in my brain start screaming in fear and loathing. Everything about it sounds like emotional manipulation.
Yeah, looking at the framework and methods it's rather stifling & looks similar to the various trendy micromanagement programs that circulate in corporations. Ultra-detailed performance reviews for kids emotions.
It should considering it's mostly far leftist teachers that are pushing this agenda onto the kids
When I was teaching science, it was mandatory to integrate SEL practices in the classroom. Once a week, the administration would give teachers a slideshow to indoctrinates kids on one aspect of SEL after another. I always tried to undercut the lessons but there's a reason why there are few conservative teachers anymore.
"indoctrinates kids on one aspect of SEL "
It's no more indoctrination than what you do if you do any slideshows for science, bud. Unless the SEL slideshow was teaching kids to disobey their parents and that it's okay to give sexual favors if there's consent between the two parties regardless of age, you don't have much evidence to reject whatever was being taught.
Work hard
How does teaching kids to be aware of their emotions go against science?
@@TickleMeElmo55 You want your kids to be indoctrinated with a political ideology that acts like a religion that produces zealots? I know I sure dont.
@@mikeoveli1028 It is not the business of the teachers to be teaching this to students. It is their business to teach the subject they teach. This is very clearly political indoctrination.
@@pandakicker1
In your world a teacher can't talk to their students about emotions and the language we use to communicate those emotions?
A teacher is the perfect person to teach those concepts. Most parents barely have their own language to describe their emotions.
I want to understand why emotions are that taboo so that a teacher should be restricted from talking about them?
Very clever to do one concept per video Jim. Kudos to you
What do you think about Flip Flippen’s SEL“ Capturing Kid’s Hearts” behavior model and the Social Contract in the classroom?
I'm a school social worker. I haven't heard of this particular SEL program so I just quickly skimmed it. From what I've read I don't see much of an issue with it since it sorta builds off other SEL programs that came before it. Every social worker and counselor has done some form of "social contract" with either individual students or within a classroom.
These Bullets are awesome! Thanks James! ❤
been waiting for this one.
Everything they're doing has some kind of buzzword, euphemism, or dog whistle to it. It's so nefarious.
It is manipulation in its finest form. It is hideous.
then they accuse others of using dogwhistles and being insidious.
They project so hard.
I thank God that I teach music. Whenever an honest debate on religion, philosophy, or politics pops up, we pack up early and I let them hash it out. I don't bring up my own beliefs, but I certainly push back on this weirdness.
Reevaluating counseling is not appropriate in schools .
Also not appropriate for most adults
@@OrwellsHousecat
Which begs the question, how is this _not_ an act of psychological malpractice/warfare?
@@Xbalanque84 it *definitely* is and always has been (look at history of Tavistock). The social engineering is preparing a flabby hedonistic free country for global war, starting with indoctrination in a shared ideology (and crushing all dissent). We've seen this before (Germany 30s; chairman mao).
@@OrwellsHousecat
All the more reason to hold these "therapist's" feet to the fire when the tide finally turns.
@@Xbalanque84 yup. But that's not easy because all the psych experts & institutions who might be able to verify these claims are not captured, it's their project.
Let me ask another question. If the world was going into ww3, and you were in charge of your country and you needed everyone taking top-down orders, how would you transform your country from freedom-loving hedonistic individuals (peacetime mode) into obedient deployable agents (war mode)?

I don't trust any of these people to "intervene" in ANY of my kids cognitive abilities.
No kidding.
After listening to your 4 hour devestating pulling back the covers on their agenda , this is a quick mop up to clarify even morr this horrible manipulation .
for anyone interested, here is a link to the 4 hour long podcast "The Dark Truth About Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)"
czcams.com/video/0s6n_liERf8/video.html
Starting at about 3:30:00min, he goes into the Dark Truth about SEL. It is monstrously dark.
I have listened to this podcast 3 times. It is THE best summation of SEL you will find anywhere.

@@jonh7084 If they will not be convinced that their little darlings can easily be turned into raving lunatics like the Red Guard, then they are already lost to their own 'radicalization.'
Mike and Landinbetween being good activists in the comment field and doing their best to poison the well and muddy the water to get people to stop listening to New Discourses.
So... it should be Social and Emotional Grooming.
Social and Emotional Conditioning, Ugh it does sound awful.
I call it Social and Emotional Manipulation
This critique completely ignores neurobiology. Not all SEL is imbued with psychobabble or politics. Classroom management and relationships were always part of classroom dynamics. Modelling emotional regulation has always been an adult role. Trauma informed practice is not about screening, diagnosis or treatment, nor permissiveness. It is about remaining calm, kind and consistent while setting firm boundaries. It is also not about replacing curriculum, but a way of managing classrooms while curriculum is delivered.
And another thing, 'transformative' is also used to refer to metacognition / critical reflection or becoming aware of one's own assumptions. This a basic tenet of CBT approaches and an aspect of research translation to practice.
As a practitioner of integrated medicine myself, I see how this can be as much helpful as it is dangerous. The power to heal is the power to harm.
I don’t have a lot of faith in people to remove their biases when engaging with this type of methodology, especially given how overtly Marxist the schools have become.
@J. B. yes but that's the risk you take in all human services. Self-correcting strategies include, for one, transparency of institutional processes and records; a cyclical implementation and evaluation process for another.
@@FlashVEL10 I hear what your'e saying. Accountability is the solution but I rarely see systems like this utilizing real accountability. Blaming and finger pointing can appear to be holding someone else accountable but we know it's not.
Personally, I'm not all that into "human services" as they all tend to fall into corruption. Individuals and small groups of people are a different story.
The purpose of SEL is to make kids collectivist, hive-minded, conformist, easily controlled, easily manipulated, open to further manipulation. It's grooming, plain and simple.
It doesn't have to be imbued with psychobabble or politics, it opens them up for that later on.
Small school district going full on DIE, SEL. Bit of a back and forth on a FB post. Presented your information over several posts with the final response to me, recommending more info being, "I don't believe you, I don't believe a single thing you say and I assume those you recommend are as inflammatory as you and only say these things for attention."
People with zero exposure to these doctrines believe schools are just teaching good values and tolerance, like learning not to steal and bully...
I fear the results will be acted out in society & those who succumbed to it will never draw the correlation between the cause and the impact. Most importantly though they are targeting children.

Yes, it's great that some scholars go against the grain and speak out, like all the people that you listed. The agenda is essentially a punitive and sadistic one. There really are some mean-spirited people behind this political movement.
...not sure what you said.
@@terriseverson3873 I feel you! I gave up on our local fb page several .months ago. I got tired of the insinuations that I was "-ist" of some sort.
It started a few years ago when a video of 3 drunk high schoolers was released. They were saying things that were racist and people freaked out. I had been trying for a couple of years to warn people that pushing the DIE religion would create a backlash. I was accused of having all sorts of ridiculous intentions. It's like people have been trained to assume that if someone states a reality or predicts a reality, they are only saying it because they want it to happen. Whatever, the point is that people were falling all over themselves to put virtue-signal each other. These people were suggesting that the father of the girl in the video (who was clearly not used to drinking alcohol and was parroting things that were typically seen online to point out the racism inherent in "anti-racism"-like, switching the races in a headline from NYT or switching the sexes or nationalities to see how there is an accepted version of blatant racism) be forced to lose his business. He owns a Toyota dealership and has a reputation for being a good husband, father, boss. He wasn't in the video and had released a statement condemning what his daughter said. That wasn't enough. People wanted their family ruined and run out of town. She lost her scholarship to college, as did the boy in the video. They weren't making threats. They were basically the white version of Nick Cannon.
Other adults were trying to get the mayor to be granted the right to censor fb comments ( on any FB associated with the city) that COULD BE PERCEIVED as offensive. It was like a parody. I was the only person to speak up. I said that it was dangerous suggest a government official should have that power and it wasn't part of his job to police speech. I got plenty of private messages of support, and "likes" but no one commented in agreement. I realized that people were more cowardly than I knew. So I stayed off fb for a while.
The funny thing is that Ive used videos of ALL of the same people you listed as resources. I love to know I'm not the only one that includes Benjamin in the IDW!
A fishing buddy of mine is a teacher at a high school in Wilmington DE, the bad part. He started telling me about this stuff a couple years ago, he was receiving training on it. Now I have some better ammunition to discuss this topic, so thank you.
I think it has been going on a long time in one form or another. The worst part of it, to me, is the "equity" part.
THANK YOU for this succinct treatment of SEL!!

Thank you James Lindsay 🙏🏽
I find this comment activity rather funny and odd, this dude "Scott Sommers" who made an unsolicited comment at me which was intended as an insult ends up saying that HE DOES NOT KNOW WHY I AM REPLYING TO HIM. (Scott Sommers 17 hours ago: @Emma Louie I don't even know why you are replying to me. You can have any opinion you want. My point is that none of this has got anything to do with what SEL really is. Remember, that is what the podcast is about.) The reality is all denizens of the interwebs can find information about Social Emotional Learning. We know. He seems to be discouraging me from making comments. It's not going to work.
"The reality is all denizens of the interwebs can find information about Social Emotional Learning."
And much of the information regarding SEL is relatively harmless if not necessary for a functioning classroom. It's new material being used that makes SEL a poor reflection of its former self.

Social-emotional learning teaches students how to manage their emotions, how to make good decisions, how to collaborate and how to understand themselves and others better.
It has existed under different names across the decades: character education, 21st century skills, noncognitive skills. In the adult world, they're often called soft skills.
Social-emotional learning can be broken down into five areas: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making.
One of the great ironies of the backlash around teaching morality or values in American education through social-emotional learning today is that American schools have always been about teaching values and character.
And for much of American history, that focus has been on pretty conservative values.
Well you'd want to conserve good things, right? Like self-reliance, individualism, patriotism (toward the important ideals, not to the government)

If a school can teach children to disrespect their parents it is the fault of the parent.
Kids are taught respect at home and if you lose respect you can't blame it in a teacher
@@mikeoveli1028 in a way I agree. I don't trust the government with my children and that's why they aren't in public school. However, your argument is not the same as but analogous to saying "that drug dealer on the corner? If he's convincing your kids to do drugs that's your fault for not teaching your children drugs are bad". Except most kids spend as much waking time around early teachers as they do their parents if not more. If there's political grooming, or worse, happening in classrooms (and I'm not saying there always is) parents are at a heavy disadvantage. This is a system that almost couldn't be more ripe for being corrupted.
@@galenschultz3239
Funny thing is I am no fan of our government.
SEL is not what anyone needs to worry about.
I have just walked through 18 years of kids in school.
Every teacher my kids had were good people doing everything in their power to help the kids.
SEL was something off to the side that was a tool to help kids have a vocabulary for their emotions.
America and the world would do far better if we all had a vocabulary for our emotions.
Just because a public school does it doesn't make it bad
If people don't like SEL it is because they don't understand it or they are afraid of their own emotions.
I think the worst parts probably that it might take children who are actually traumatized and use that for the purpose of goup think.
I don't think it's treason- it's free speach, but I do think it's bad.
This is also my concern. Young people/kids who are already on the edge with a bad family life or whatever could really be pushed further towards something destructive via all this programming targeting their identities and emotions. Inducing group-think is definitely a part of this. There is a difference between free-speech and therapy. Free speech, behavior have limitations when dealing with students, youth, and also as an employee, the sky is not the limit. :) They've got to be reigned in and at least James Lindsay is shining a light on the problems.
There's no such thing as free speech when it comes to the state indoctrinating children. Free speech is for the citizens, it's not for the state. This is why schools can't teach religion.
Heard a commercial on I heart radio about a private school proud of their social and emotional education
🤣
You're sorta not getting how it's implemented. The reality of SEL in classrooms doesn't necessarily need a licensed professional in mental health (like me, a licensed social worker) for it be taught properly. Do not speak of things you do not know of simply because you have caught the anti-Woke bug. Much of the curriculum is "read the red and do the black" i.e. Second Step. SEL is a very basic, fundamental approach to refining executive functioning.
By your logic, parents cannot homeschool their kids unless they're licensed or have the professional credentials to teach at home.
You have it SO wrong.
The groomers are telling the children they cannot trust their parents. They are giving them “the” answers. Children aren’t able to think for themselves because the thinking is being done for them. It’s sickening.
the anti-woke bug is infinitely better than the woke bug.
it's amazing how wrong one man can be. Talk about grifting.
I've read SEL manuals. They are nothing like he is describing. The exercises that kids are told to do are innocuous and have been widely practiced for decades in other kinds of teaching, for example, language teaching. The idea of linking it to cults and Scientology is bizarre and just wrong. The more I listened, the stranger this got.
What you’re reading are the older SEL ideas, what it was before it got bastardized into its current form.
So you aren't acting as a psychologist
@@afuzzycreature8387 I am a psychologist.
@@ryannafe9252 The SEL manuals I read came from publishers. So you are wrong.
What does that have to do with the age of them and the difference between them and the bastardized new thing?
Also, characterizing what James is saying as being strange and just wrong isn’t actually an argument. Pick something specific that you think is wrong and give an argument in support of that.
