Social Emotional Learning - The Nanny State

In my interview with Jane Robbins, we exposed how Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is being used to advance the “nanny state” — a government-driven system that seeks to replace parental authority with state control. Jane explained how SEL programs, disguised as tools for mental health and character development, are actually mechanisms for behavior tracking, emotional conditioning, and ideological conformity. Together, we unpacked how these initiatives are reshaping the role of schools from educating children to managing them, eroding parental rights and paving the way for government intervention into every aspect of a child’s life — mind, emotion, and belief.
