If your interest in understanding SELinux is merely to silence it, then
just shut it off and leave it off.

I'm not sure if this will help you but it might (i.e. leave selinux in
permissive state)...if you install the 'audit' package, I believe that
it diverts the 'spew' as you call it from syslog
to /var/log/audit/audit.log
