Subject: Social, Emotional, Behavioral Experimentation-A Danger To Children

Dear Friends,

With school starting in a couple weeks, Be Aware and BeWare of these psychological techniques being marketed in many forms. This affective domain agenda is not new. Be sure to read carefully all Conduct or Parent Compacts. Do not sign your rights away by signing onto a Parent Engagement Letter that allow your rights to be forfeited to the school. Look into the "prevention" classes including suicide, social emotional, and behavioral development, or character development.
Be vigilant.

In response to several articles appearing this week, here are my comments:

Social, Emotional, Behavioral Standards Are NOT a FAD.

THESE STANDARDS HAVE BEEN LEGISLATED IN ESSA, Every Student Succeeds Act.
Teacher training had begun under the ESEA FLEXIBILITY WAIVERS since 2012.

It was announced this week that a new round of experimental, psychological research will be promoted in 8 states. Parents should be writing their opt out letters now.

Here is the discussion and the problems with this INVASIVE and ILLEGAL agenda:

1. Creating standards and testing the affective domain is not new. Pennsylvania and NAEP are masters at testing attitudes, values, beliefs, and dispositions. Pennsylvania violated federal law for using psychological measurements on children and had to remove their state assessment, EQA, because it violated federal law, the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment. I was the parent who filed that complaint. Psychological, experimental research without informed written parental consent is illegal. CASEL is setting themselves up for multiple lawsuits, as well as, the schools co-operating with these experimental programs. CASEL is lying about the research. They want acceptance and parent engagement to go along with the experimentation. Parents, You Can Say No! Stand for parents' rights.

2. Who will decide what the proficiency level will be in the personality traits of our children? How do you score attitudes, values, beliefs, and dispositions? Proficiency levels for personal qualities were determined in the SCANS report funded by the Department of Labor, 1992, for the future workforce.

3. What type of experimental programs will be incorporated into the classroom to change your child to a particular "government" attitude? What type of psychological interventions will be infused into the curriculum? FERPA LOOPHOLES allow 3rd party contractors to get data for free to develop curriculum, software, & phone apps because of Obama's EO 12866 that unlocked personally identifiable information re-writing FERPA REGULATIONS stripping the privacy of our children and families. Data Mining is rampant.

4. Who receives the personal data on your children when data is entered into the state longitudinal data system that ALLOWS data to be shared with outside contractors?
Do children have a Constitutional 1st and 4th Amendment protection to be left alone in their conscience? Pennsylvania Moratorium answered this question below. Privacy violations are rampant.

5. Who is liable for damage incurred by staff and social workers, etc, for damage when something goes wrong dealing with sensitive psychological areas? Is it the curriculum developer? teacher? School district? State? Or the Federal government that legislated non-academic standards?

Pennsylvania Interpersonal Skills 2012 non-academic standards, were removed by former Gov. Corbett after parental protest. But now, ESSA federal legislation codified the non-academic social, emotional, and behavioral standards December, 2015.

Parents in Pennsylvania demanded a moratorium on these value laden standards October, 2014. This CASEL marketing is a farce.

This marketing agenda must stop! Just because it sounds good, doesn't mean it is legal or ethical. Parents demand a Congressional Investigation. Rescind Obama's EO 12866. Stop data flow to the Feds through your state longitudinal data system. Shut down the National Center of Education Statistics, NCES and Institute for Educational Sciences, IES--the real culprits.

A parent revolt should shut this down, IMMEDIATELY!
