The anti-immigrant and juvenile rhetoric of the 2016 presidential campaign is driving an increase in bullying and fear among students in the nations schools, according to a new report by Teaching Tolerance, a project of the left-leaning Southern Poverty Law Center.
Its 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, said the report, which was released Wednesday. Other students have been emboldened by the divisive, often juvenile rhetoric in the campaign. 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.
The report is based on a survey of 2,000 teachers that, the authors acknowledge, is neither scientific nor representative of teachers as a whole: Our email subscribers and those who visit our website are not a random sample of teachers nationally, and those who chose to respond to our survey are likely to be those who are the most concerned about the impact of the presidential campaign on their students and schools.
Titled The Trump Effect, the report singles out businessman and leading GOP candidate Donald Trump for his statements about deporting Latino immigrants, building a wall on the nations southern border, and banning all Muslim immigrants. Of the 5,000 comments teachers wrote in response to the survey, more than 1,000 mentioned Trump, while fewer than 200 mentioned Ted Cruz, Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton, according to the report

(28,795 posts)2. I'm curious: how does the Post describe the AEI, Heritage Foundation, and all the myriad other
totally wing nut funded "think" tanks, as it mindlessly repeats their spewage?
are any of these groups ever described as right-leaning? and, leaning as in Tower of Pisa, or right-leaning in their actuality, as in, like 10 degrees from the ground?
