"Trent on the Loos," hosted by Trent Loos, welcomes guest Linda Highland in this episode. They dive into a deep discussion about Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) in American schools. Both Trent and Linda raise concerns about the impact of SEL on students' academic performance and critical thinking skills.

Throughout the episode, they argue that the introduction of SEL curriculum might be linked to a decline in students' academic achievements. They suggest that focusing on emotional aspects in education takes away from traditional academic subjects, potentially hindering students' intellectual growth and critical thinking abilities.

Trent and Linda discuss examples and studies to support their view, emphasizing the need for a return to more traditional educational values and methods. They argue that while understanding emotions is important, it should not overshadow the essential academic skills that students need to succeed. This episode invites listeners to consider the balance between emotional learning and academic rigor in education from a conservative standpoint.
