Marsha Metzger is a parental rights advocate and the president of Parents on the Level, a nonprofit organization focused on educating parents about issues in public education, particularly the potential harms of Social Emotional Learning (SEL) programs in schools. She frequently speaks out against certain SEL curricula (such as Second Step and CASEL-aligned programs), arguing they introduce controversial topics like radical gender ideology, explicit sexual content, and ideological biases under the guise of emotional education. Metzger has years of experience teaching abstinence-based sexual risk avoidance (SRA) education and now lectures on protecting children from what she views as inappropriate school content. She has appeared in webinars, YouTube presentations (e.g., “The Show and Tell of SEL: 15 Harmful Elements” and “Exposing SEL Monthly Webinar”), and interviews warning about propaganda in schools via platforms like Newsela. No detailed public biography mentions her parents or early life in available sources. Her work emphasizes empowering parents to stay informed and involved in their children’s education.
