Of course they are. They saw what happened when all the kids who grew up watching sesame street and Mr Rogers learned how to think of other people as people and not things. They started supporting their right to exist! As valid individuals! With RIGHTS!?!
Conservatives can only prosper if empathy is suppressed, or at least heavily restricted. You see it every time yet another conservative changes their position on some social issue as soon as they experience whatever it is firsthand.
If they had empathy, they would’ve already supported the progressive position.
Reminder that FOX and Friends called Mr Rogers an “evil, evil man.” https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/fox-fred-rogers-evil/
Now, I’m not Christian and I don’t believe that people are really saints. Still, if I had to nominate a modern American figure to be a saint, I’d pick Fred Rogers. I’d definitely choose him way ahead of anyone on FOX.
-Said by dehumanising people
Nothing that dude just said is dehumanizing, even if it hurts your feelings.
TL;DR?
Banning SEL makes as much sense as banning the alphabet because the letters can be used to say bad or hurtful things.
Also, banning stuff has such a history of positive outcomes.
Bullshit
…at least 25 states saw bills introduced into their legislatures to remove social and emotional learning (SEL) from public school curricula. While most failed, the bills rely on talking points developed by right-wing SEL opponents who liken lessons meant to increase students’ emotional intelligence — teaching them skills like empathy, collaborative problem-solving and emotional self-regulation — to a Trojan Horse for left-wing ideologies of race, gender and sexuality.
Oh its not bullshit. They just redefined “empathy” and “care”, and since it hasnt updated, theyre no longer teaching empathy and care. Because empathy and care mean something else.
English evolves, never complain or be out of date, no matter how forced and unnatural it is.
Doesn’t that make the posts headline misleading then?
Yes, yes it does.
Evolution doesn’t just happen overnight, it’s gradual
