Boston Public Schools are offering counseling and advice to students after Tuesday’s unexpected presidential election result.
Superintendent Tommy Chang wrote an open letter to the school community Wednesday offering resources for students, their families, and staff who may be concerned after Republican Donald Trump’s victory over Democrat Hillary Clinton.
“The coming days and weeks may be challenging for many, and celebratory for others,” Chang wrote. “As educators, we should use this opportunity as a teachable moment to have conversations with our students about the democratic process, how we can resolve differences and conflicts, and how we can address diverse and sometimes conflicting ideology. We need to remember our Culture of We as we continue our vital work. We must ensure that our students feel safe by providing safe and respectful learning communities.”
“We are fortunate to live in a democracy where we can hold these conversations even if we disagree with the outcome,” he went on. “We as adults need to monitor our behaviors; we want to demonstrate compassion, empathy, and support for students and colleagues.”
The schools’ Behavioral Health Department will be available to meet with students, and an employee assistance program is available for staff, according to Chang. The letter also offers links to resources about teaching tolerance.
Chang continued his message of support on Twitter Wednesday morning, writing to students, “We are here for you today & always.”
@BostonSchools Students, we ❤️you. You are intelligent & beautiful. We are here for you today & always. Please share your feelings today.

Turning all to snowflakes
The snowflakes are melting into a “cuddle puddle”. LOL.
Same thing they did in 2008 and 2012, right?
Right?
...
These schools terrified the kids concerning Trump, who he was, and what he would do that would terrify them.
Now these schools are making a big stink out of the need to repair the damage they did.
This is proof positive that these schools are out of control, are abusing their right to have authority over those kids.
They’re all just scared that the adults are going to be in charge again.
“...We are fortunate to live in a democracy...”
Another idiot “educator” who doesn’t know the difference between a “democracy” and a “Representative Republic”...
I was a student in The Boston Public Schools when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.
There was no counseling for us,you can be damned sure.
What a bunch of weaklings we are raising.
.
We don’t live in a democracy, Mr Chang.
Wow what a fantastic utilization of tax dollars.
Not.
Some budding James O'Keefe should walk in with a blank stare and keep repeating 'Make America Great Again. Make America Great Again'.
If Hillary had gotten elected I would have gotten counseling with the firm of Daniels, Beam, and Walker.
So is the University of California per an email from the UC President Janet Nipalitano’s issuing assurance of the availability of counseling to students stressing over the Trump win. I’m speechless.
“(The U.S. is) becoming more juvenile as a nation. The guys who won World War II and that whole generation have disappeared, and now we have a bunch of teenage twits,” Clint Eastwood.
Unless they had provable plans of counseling for an H victory someone should sue!
a whole bunch of republicans should go into the counselor’s offices and say “I need counseling after 8 LONG HORRENDOUS years of dear leader’s presidency these last miserable 8 years!”
No no no no !!!!!
You don’t get it:
This is not coping-counseling;
it is the opportunity for the communist establishment to identify and groom new human fodder for their cause.
