A northern Virginia middle school allegedly violated parental rights by not immediately giving a parent access to so-called social-emotional learning (SEL) curriculum her eighth grader is being taught. The student’s mother, Stephanie Lundquist-Arora, says Irving Middle School’s lack of cooperation violates her rights under Virginia law. The school is part of the Fairfax County public school district.

Lundquist-Arora said the principal made it especially difficult to get access to the “divisive” material, which the school district claims is implemented to foster “equity” among students.
