The Southern Poverty Law Center did a study and discovered that Donald Trump’s fearmongering is having a terrible effect on children.
…a survey of 2,000 school teachers…found that this year’s presidential race is having a “profoundly negative” impact on children and their classroom environments.
According to the SPLC, “It’s producing an alarming level of fear and anxiety among children of color and inflaming racial and ethnic tensions in the classroom. Many students worry about being deported.” At th same time, “Teachers have noted an increase in bullying, harassment and intimidation of students whose races, religions or nationalities have been the verbal targets of candidates on the campaign trail.”
