A Pennsylvania school district may incorporate "feelings" into its math curriculum.
Littlestown Area School District proposed an elementary math curriculum
that could integrate social-emotional learning into its curriculum.
"This board needs to decide if they want to make social and emotional
learning a part of our math curriculum. I do not believe it belongs in
the math classes," said board member Jeanne Ewen at a board meeting on
February 13.
"Some of the questions inside the math workbook ask, ‘Are you
understanding how other people feel?’ What does this have to do with
teaching math?"
According to a global nonprofit called the Committee For Children, social–emotional learning is an educational method that aims to help
people develop the self-awareness, self-control and interpersonal
skills that are needed for everyday life.
"This is just re-packaged critical race theory is what this is," Board
member Nicki Kenney said.
The "Reveal Math" program "explores mathematics through a flexible
lesson design," a "Program Overview" reads for kindergartners through fifth-graders.

It's the liberals that want to start brainwashing your children as soon
as they start school. The conservatives want to start educating them.
