Artificial Intelligence Meets Social Emotional Indoctrination
SEL chat-bots interacting with, and collecting data on your kids? What could possibly go wrong?

Truly, you have to read this article, and if you aren’t immediately on the phone to your neighbors to start a home-school co-op, then you don’t understand.
In the first paragraph, they give it away: (emphasis is mine)
…harnessing the power of generative AI to revolutionize how we teach social-emotional skills and monitor student well-being and mental health.
A commodity more precious than gold is your personal data. Our current “Transformative SEL” uses surveys to muck around in children’s minds and collect their personal and private thoughts. These rigged surveys are used to saddle them with a “mental health” diagnosis (such as “anxiety”), which requires therapy in the form of more SEL, and perhaps a new gender.
As we have discussed in previous articles, there are no laws protecting the data of school children as long as that data is collected by a third party contractor and not directly by the school. It is not accidental that all SEL curricula are provided by third party vendors to the schools. The profit isn’t in selling the curricula, it’s in selling the data.
If you own a person’s data, you own the person.
And where does that windfall of cash go? It passes through “public-private partnerships,” and lands in the campaign coffers of globalist politicians to promote more indoctrination and data collection. It’s a win-win-win for the WEF.
Why do you think the teacher’s union and the globalists are fighting every little “school choice” option as if the survival of the planet depended upon every single child attending public schools?
In “Mental Health,” the education cartel has found the perfect patsy for their purposes of owning your children’s future, and siphoning more of your tax dollars. Who can be against “Mental Health?”
Why do you think in-school “Mental Health” clinics are now a thing?

If WOWT had any real reporters they might tell you who the “number of outside agencies” are that are partnering with Omaha Public Schools to build an $8 million, 10,000-square-foot clinic on the “Benson Campus” that let’s students meet with “professionals” and has room for medical and dental care.
Are the professionals licensed? Who is hiring them? Are they billing taxpayer funded Medicaid for all that professional care? Who is going to be held legally liable when your child is harmed; the state, the school district, or one of those shadowy “outside agencies?” So many questions, so few answers. So many reasons for parents to opt out.
Somebody has to supply those mentally disturbed children to the clinics to make it worthwhile. That’s a lot of professionals to keep busy.
Enter SEL companies with their AI chat-bots that can make sure you know you’re abnormal, using their “innovative features.”
Please read the above article for yourself, but we can highlight a couple of excerpts here:
Marigold Health “leverages AI to provide personalized support to patients with behavioral health needs, thereby enhancing the capacity of care teams and facilitating peer engagement.” (emphasis mine: notice they refer to “patients,” not “students.” This is a curriculum for students.)
AI-Augmented Peer Support: Marigold Health's platform uses AI to match individuals with peers who have similar experiences, fostering a sense of community and mutual support.
Personalized Interactions: The AI analyzes user interactions to provide tailored advice and resources, ensuring that support is relevant and effective.
24/7 Availability: The AI-driven chat system ensures that users have access to support anytime, addressing the immediacy often required in behavioral health interventions.
Alongside “features an AI chatbot named Kiwi, along with self-help resources, mood tracking, goal setting, and journaling tools.”
AI Chatbot (Kiwi): Kiwi interacts with students, providing a confidential space to discuss their feelings and receive tailored advice.
Mood Tracking and Journaling: These features allow students to monitor their emotional states and reflect on their experiences.
Goal Setting: The app helps students set and achieve personal goals, fostering a
sense of accomplishment and self-efficacy.
As any parent of a teenager knows, the real issue with teens is they don’t do enough tracking and journaling of their moods. Thank goodness there’s a bot for that.
Although, one could certainly argue that a school-based AI program on the world wide web does not constitute a “confidential space to discuss their feelings.”
Panorama Education “simplifies student data tasks for educators,” allowing the AI to “quickly identify sensitive survey responses,” in order to determine when a student needs “targeted intervention.”
Assuming educators have “student data tasks” that need to be delegated, Panorama will notify the school of any problems their robot identifies; “ensuring timely support.”
Luckily, the school will have that handy mental health clinic nearby, no need to bother the parent.
To Parents: Learn what Ed-Tech programs your school uses, and research them. It isn’t just the SEL that’s bad, but if it’s SEL, it’s bad.
Opt out of any surveys that your school gives to students. You must submit a new opt-out request every school year for each of your children, in writing. You might even have the principal’s signature notarized. Sample opt-out forms are available HERE.
Key Words to watch out for: “Universal Screening,” “Well-being,” and MTSS (Muti-tiered System of Support)
Opt out of any school based health care of any kind. Make sure the school has to call you before intervening with your child. Don’t let them gaslight you about “emergency treatment.” They have to provide emergency care with or without permission on the non-emergency treatments. Do not give the school your health insurance information.
Consider your educational options. This situation won’t get better anytime soon.
To Readers: It isn’t healthy for young people to ruminate on their feelings. SEL is dangerous because it forces students to continually focus on their feelings, and avoid any kind of discernment that their lying eyes might reveal.
They must by “allies” to traumatized peers until they also feel the pain. If they don’t have a traumatized peer, they will be provided one—human or robot.
We recently came across this video of two people talking about their traumatic experiences and how it affected them. There is discussion on how the traumatic indoctrination, perfected on college campuses, has been pushed down to K-12 schools. They talk about SEL in the video, making the point that “normal” kids who grow up without trauma go to schools where they “create the trauma” via SEL.
The need for Mental Health care is created by the government schools, so it can be provided by the government schools. This is a feature, not a bug, of SEL. This video is worth your time. Click HERE to watch it.
If you are interested, you can sign up for a free trial on Hulu to watch the “Stolen Youth” series referenced in this video. The link is HERE.
