Even though s/he probably heard about how all Muslims were Terrorists (along with Blacks being lazy welfare cheats and Hispanics being illegal MS-13 members or job thieves) from Mom and Dad every single day of his or her life.

(12,646 posts)Kids can spell out words that come up repeatedly in what they read - or at least labels they are regularly exposed to.
For example, Faux News has the word "terrorist" prominently displayed about 40% of the time on all their shows, so it wouldn't be that much of a stretch to expect that's a word a 9- or 10-year old exposed to Faux can spell, no matter how poorly they may write.

That's still a complicated concept for a 10 year old.

(26,060 posts)that child will probably never get over this. Something she will always remember. And she's just a child. My heart goes out to her and her family.
