Charlie Kirk Calls Social Emotional Learning a CRT Gateway
Showing 4 Social Emotional Learning videos from Charlie Kirk's video collection.
Responding to an audience member who cited commentators like Carl Benjamin and Tim Pool raising concerns about Social Emotional Learning in schools, Charlie Kirk argued the framework operates as a gateway to Critical Race Theory by encouraging teachers to adjust instruction based on students' social and emotional circumstances, which he says leads to lowered expectations tied to race. Kirk contrasted this with classical education, which he argues treats every student equally as a bearer of inherent worth regardless of background. A separate video features Kirk, Dr. James Lindsay, and Breitbart's Alex Marlow discussing the origins and spread of Critical Race Theory in American institutions. Other videos in this pool include Kirk's remarks at a Freedom Square event in Arizona about broader cultural and educational reform efforts.
