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.

George Shultz was a terrific economist. He majored in economics at Princeton. He earned a Ph.D. in economics at MIT. And he was so much more than that. Many years ago when George Shultz was secretary of the Treasury, he said, “Economists have a particular responsibility to relate policy decisions to the maintenance of freedom, so that when the combination of special interest groups, bureaucratic pressures, and congressional appetites calls for still one more increment of government intervention, we can calculate the cost in these terms.”
