   A Pennsylvania school district may incorporate "feelings" into its math   
   curriculum.   
      
   Littlestown Area School District proposed an elementary math curriculum   
   that could integrate social-emotional learning into its curriculum.   
      
   "This board needs to decide if they want to make social and emotional   
   learning a part of our math curriculum. I do not believe it belongs in   
   the math classes," said board member Jeanne Ewen at a board meeting on   
   February 13.    
      
   "Some of the questions inside the math workbook ask, ‘Are you   
   understanding how other people feel?’ What does this have to do with   
   teaching math?"   
      
   According to a global nonprofit called the Committee For Children,   
   social–emotional learning is an educational method that aims to help   
   people develop the self-awareness, self-control and interpersonal   
   skills that are needed for everyday life.   
      
   "This is just re-packaged critical race theory is what this is," Board   
   member Nicki Kenney said.   
      
   The "Reveal Math" program "explores mathematics through a flexible   
   lesson design," a "Program Overview" reads for kindergartners through   
   fifth-graders.

   It's the liberals that want to start brainwashing your children as soon   
   as they start school.  The conservatives want to start educating them.
