      …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      English evolves, never complain or be out of date, no matter how forced and unnatural it is.
