Abstract	Social-emotional learning (SEL) has been a staple in U.S. schools for decades, but it's recently drawn criticism from policy makers and advocates who believe these programs represent government intrusion into areas best reserved for families. Robert Kim describes some of the legal arguments that support the use of SEL in schools. SEL programs can help foster equitable and nondiscriminatory environments, promote independence of students with disabilities, and help students learn to recognize and report instances of abuse. Both courts and the federal government have used the presence or lack of SEL programs as an indicator of whether schools are fulfilling their obligations to protect students' rights. For this reason, SEL programs can help schools avoid legal liability, even as they help students grow in important ways (As Provided).
