WASHINGTON - It was only a matter of time before kids started picking up the aggressive, divisive language that’s become a hallmark of the 2016 presidential campaign.
According to a new report by the nonprofit Southern Poverty Law Center titled “The Trump Effect: The Impact of the Presidential Campaign on our Nation’s Schools,” the race is stoking fears and racial tensions in America’s classrooms.
“My students are terrified of Donald Trump. They think that if he’s elected, all black people will get sent back to Africa,” one middle school teacher told the SPLC. The teacher was one of more than 2,000 educators who opted to take a survey conducted through the SPLC’s “Teaching Tolerance” program.
“I have had Muslim students called terrorists,” said another teacher who submitted comments to the survey.
“There is a boy from Mexico, who is a citizen, who is terrified that the country will deport him if Trump wins,” wrote a third teacher. “He is also scared that kids and grown-ups can and will hurt him.”

The only hatred I see is TOWARDS the Trump supporters, from those loving and caring liberals
The only people in this country who think that Obama has improved racial relations are writers employed by the MSM. (Or on drugs. Or both.)
There has been an increase in bullying, but the Trump students are the ones being bullied.
Stopped reading there. The Southern Poverty Law Center has no credibility.
Same Snowflake teachers/students who run off every Conservative speaker then can.
Cruz Effect: Lying, cheating, stealing, and creeping people out.
There should be safe spaces for Trump supporters.
The obama years have drawn these bugs out of the woodwork.
You disappoint me. I thought that would have been the first response in this thread.
Yeah, isn’t sad the “principled conservative” rants like a DUmper about “Trump violence” and other nonsense? I never would have thought Cruz would do that. So disappointing.
No need for those. Eliminate government funding and control of education, and the sodomites, ferals, and Communists who make up the majority of bullies will either be too poor or too lazy to show up to school.
Americans pushing back, they better get used to it no matter who is elected.
So let 'em call us names. We're not snowflakes. Give back as good as you get.
Newsflash⇨ leftwing Hate Group slanders Donald Trump, Opportunistic Sea Island Republicans cheer.
BTW, there used to be a faction here at FR who routinely posted SPLC material in order to silence any and all debate over illegal aliens. It worked during Dubya's regime and we had a lot of immigration patriots get banned.
SPLC = a pro-demoncRAT organization who’s sole purpose is to tear down whites and our American society based on hyperbole, lies and deceit.
A garbage organization held up as some kind of beacon of impartiality and truth (when in actuality, they are anything but) by communists and the media...but then they are both the same.
“SPLC = a pro-demoncRAT organization who’s sole purpose is to tear down whites and our American society based on hyperbole, lies and deceit.”
..but often a favorite among many establishment Republicans, who fall all over themselves trying to be as progressive and Politically Correct as their Democrat Left “opponents”
Sad but true.
Education is too damn cheap.
They blame Trump for this?
How about blaming Black Lives Matter, Occupy Wall Street, and the “Hail Satan” Abortion-promoting activists.
The left wants to deprive Trump and his supporters of their free speech rights.
(I am a Cruz supporter, BTW.)
The left is like someone who thinks it is funny to hit a hornet’s nest with a stick. If the anti-establishment sentiment does not translate into real, substantial change in our system very soon, Revolution 2 is going to get here much sooner.
no, it is the Anti-Trump crowd that influencing the violent behavior.
