A new federal report recommends that schools emphasize building children's "self-regulation" skills in order to increase opportunities for student success in a number of areas. The recommendation is one of several in the report, the fourth in a series on self-regulation research and practice from the Administration for Children and Families at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
Researchers have zeroed in on the importance of self-regulation skills, which allow children to manage their thoughts and feelings, control impulses, and problem-solve.
"Self-regulation affects wellbeing across the lifespan, from mental health and emotional wellbeing to academic achievement, physical health, and socioeconomic success," said Desiree Murray, associate director of research at the Frank Porter Graham Child Development Institute and lead author of the report. "Unfortunately, prolonged or pronounced stress and adversity, including poverty and trauma, can delay children's self-regulation development."

That's the most wretched aspect of this election's outcome, that VLM and his philosophical confederates have come out of the woodwork. Openly arguing for policies that would lead to forced labor and genocide. There is no excuse for that.
No excuse, definitely. But it is the silver lining of the Trumpheteer's victory. All these neo-Nazis were in the closet before. Now they think it is alright to speak up. This is a good thing, because we can identify them, and arrest them and deport them back to Nazi Germany where they came from. This is the thing about white supremecists: they are not too bright. bart.

You're right about that. We should all give everyone the benefit of the doubt, but now VLM has relieved us of that burden in his case. His intentions are malevolent. Sadly, we cannot send him back in time to Nazi Germany, so that he might perhaps have been rehabilitated by the post-war German education system that has been largely successful in teaching its citizens that genocide is bad.
Let's not call him or white supremacists stupid unnecessarily, though. Foolish, yes. Short-sighted, yes. Malevolent, certainly. VLM is intelligent, and so are other white supremacists, I'm sure. The architects of the original 'Final Solution,' that VLM referred to, had PhD's. Ergo, not stupid. VLM does supply us with a fresh example that intelligence and virtue are not synonymous.
I regret that a Soylentil would openly advocate for enslaving and annihilating groups of human beings. It's a reminder to those who strive to knit civilization together that they can never rest on their laurels, because there are always perfidious characters among them who would use terror and assassination to tear it apart again.
