Steve Bannon and Jackie Toboroff discussed concerns over the radicalization of youth and the influence of U.S. education systems, linking these issues to broader cultural and political crises on Monday’s WarRoom.
Bannon discussed Toboroff’s work, praising her efforts to alert parents about ideological and social manipulation in schools, framing her as a "voice in the wilderness.”

JACKIE TOBOROFF: Social Emotional Learning is a grift. It’s the framework schools use from nursery on to manipulate how kids feel. From SEL flows the whole toolkit: DEI, CRT, pro-Palestine, BLM, climate alarmism, gender, pronouns, and even furries.@jacquetnyc pic.twitter.com/D8dab8wfD1

The core of the conversation focused on Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs in public and private schools, which Bannon and Toboroff described as early-stage tools for ideological grooming. According to them, SEL introduces concepts such as diversity, equity, critical race theory, gender identity, and climate activism starting in nursery school. Bannon argued these programs desensitize children, reduce parental influence, and create "anti-American” attitudes by adulthood.
They highlighted recent incidents in Utah and New York as examples of this cultural shift, including teenagers adopting "furry” identities and school systems accommodating them with litter boxes and other facilities. Bannon connected this to broader concerns about dehumanization, anti-conservative ideology, and radicalization on college campuses, suggesting these environments celebrate violent acts like the assassination of Charlie Kirk.
Toboroff emphasized parental engagement, urging parents to closely monitor schools and the ideologies taught to their children. She warned that even private schools can promote anti-American views and stressed the need for transparency and activism to protect youth. She pointed listeners to her Substack, Super Moms Activated, and her Instagram for further resources.
Bannon and Toboroff also criticized political figures and organizations, including Governor Spencer Cox and Utah’s first lady Abby Cox, linking them to SEL programs and broader "empathy crises.” They claimed these initiatives were influenced by foundations like Rockefeller and tied into transgender policies, youth radicalization, and mental health programs under state oversight.
Throughout, Bannon framed the discussion as a national emergency, asserting that American institutions—including schools and universities—are infiltrated by anti-American influences. They warned of long-term societal impacts, including political radicalization and cultural decay.
The conversation concluded with actionable advice for parents: stay vigilant, engage directly with schools, and utilize online resources to counteract ideological influence on children.
