Children traumatized by 2016 Election, with “profoundly negative effect”

Good grief:

A new report from the Southern Poverty Law Center showed children have been negatively impacted by the election, with kids' classroom climate suffering drastically.

The Monday report, which surveyed 10,000 teachers across the U.S., found many students were experiencing higher anxiety and there were more reported cases of "verbal harassment, the use of slurs and derogatory language, and disturbing incidents involving swastikas, Nazi salutes and Confederate flags."

According to the survey's findings, nine out of 10 educators saw a negative impact on students' mood and behavior after the election. Eight out of 10 educators reported higher anxiety by marginalized students.

Half of educators said they heard students targeting each other based on who they would have voted for.

You know who I blame? The parents for scare-mongering their children. Let alone for raising the safe space generation.

Cue the violins and read the nauseating angst and melodrama:

Who's responsible? Teachers who lack the self-awareness to see their own bias for what it is, and passing their beliefs on to impressionable students.

Who's to be held accountable? Much of mainstream media for pushing the narrative of Trump as the second-coming of Hitler.

It's not like Bush's election wasn't without protest.

Remember Bushitler? The Democratic Underground and Kos Kiddie-types figured the Bush regime would declare Martial Law and keep himself in power beyond his 2nd term; Infowars readers predicted an Obama third term. FEMA camps? 1.6 billion rounds purchase by Homeland Security? Yeah, to do what? Hysteria. Distortions. Conspiracy. Paranoia.

These kids don’t “know” anything that their bat-shiite crazy leftist guardians didn’t spoon feed to them.

Donald Trump has been a very well-known public figure in this country for thirty-five years.

Absolutely NO ONE was drawing comparisons to Hitler until AFTER he decided to run for President.

I was reluctant to say this but since Trump won our small town has had two city trucks picking up dead kids 24 x 7 and averaging around 7 a day. They are mostly dying from fright and some from perceived bullying ...

Parents should be charged with child abuse.

The kids aren’t traumatized by the election. They’re traumatized by their horrifically irresponsible parents and teachers who are filling their heads with all manner of leftist nonsense.

"verbal harassment, the use of slurs and derogatory language, and disturbing incidents involving swastikas, Nazi salutes and Confederate flags."

First, note how the Confederate flag, which used to simply be a symbol of Southern identity, is now "hate speech." The teenager who has a Confederate flag sticker on the window of his car is now engaging in "harassment" and "hate speech."

Second, as always with these BS surveys, I want specific facts. Let me know the facts of each specific incident. Where did someone paint a Nazi swastika? Who exactly gave a Nazi salute in response to a Clinton supporter? Exactly what was said -- exactly, not a summary -- that the teacher identified as "harassment" or "verbal abuse"?

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Wow, that is pretty sad. I suppose it is kind of a natural selection process, which will make us stronger in the end. There should be fewer snowflakes in the next generation. Too bad for the parents, but they must accept some blame for having raised the kids to fear Make America Great Again.

I guess Trump should just resign, then. It’s for the children. :)
