quoting Chester E. Finn Jr.via Coronado Eagle & Journal
Thursday, December 2, 2021

First, there was the debate about Critical Race Theory (CRT) and whether or not CRT existed in schools. As CRT was exposed to have negative baggage associated with it, educators pushing it avoided CRT and in favor of saying “equity is good,” let us try to market and sell equity. Now Coronado Unified School District (CUSD) has succumbed to yet another non-academic fad called Social Emotional Learning (SEL). Parents are just waking up to SEL.

Do Progressives Pay The Price For Progressive Legislation?

by David Bradyvia Real Clear Politics
Sunday, November 21, 2021

Internal divisions within the Democratic Party over the bipartisan infrastructure bill and the $1.85 trillion “Build Back Better” bill run even deeper than the contentious congressional party debate. The issue is whether the progressive agenda, if passed, can garner enough electoral support for Democrats to maintain control of Congress. Lurking in the background is the memory of 2010, when Republicans wiped out House Democrats and substantially reduced the party’s Senate majority.
