The Trump code fuels school bullies

Do you think there is anything new about people being un happy with illegals ? It's generations old.
All Trump did was acknowledge the public's frustration with immigration law being ignored.

He stokes the anger & fear. He doesn't do anything nearly as passive as "acknowledge."

Yes, there have been nativist movements and an ugly undercurrent of bigotry in America since its founding. Are you saying that makes it a good thing?

Trump preaches hate and naive children who hear him think it's okay because he's a grown-up.

You take issue with outrage over government turning a blind eye to crime ?
We try to teach kids about right and wrong but the govt chronically exersises wrong behavior.
Or perhaps not all of us teach our kids about right and wrong.
 
Kids are imitating Trump, whose popularity with bigots has made it "cool" to spew hate again.

They are also very likely imitating their racist, bigoted, or nativist parents, who feel empowered by Trump's acceptance by the GOP base.

Why do you think that's a good thing?

Is bullying "right"? Is the kind of behavior detailed in the OP "right"?

Yes or no on that is fine.

You honestly think it's completely unrelated?

It may be related but kids get bullied for myriad reasons. And when it's tangentially related to Trump, it makes the news.

But if you want to play that angle, who gets blamed for anti-Trump violence?

Let me guess, Trump lol!
 
White kids are often bullied in Hawaiian schools. I wonder how Haoleguy would react if his children (assuming he has any) were being treated that way?

Would he rationalize the behavior the way he just did?
 
News: "Study shows kids are using language inspired by Trump to bully minority children."

Trumptards: "But protesters beat up people at Trump rallies."


:palm:

If they're using Trump's own words then they've picked up too much nastiness from him.

And who gets blamed for Trump violence? No one! Because Trump approves of his supporters using violence.

Lefties please keep this vapid crap going. It always works for Trump and further alinates the mushy middle.

"A Black Lives Matters protester was sucker-punched by a white bystander at a rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina. A young black woman was surrounded and shoved aggressively by a number of individuals at a rally in Louisville, Kentucky. A black protester was tackled, then punched and kicked by a group of men as he curled up on the ground in Birmingham, Alabama. Immigration activists were shoved and stripped of their signs by a crowd in Richmond, Virginia. A Latino protester was knocked down and kicked by a Trump supporter in Miami.

At a press conference on Friday morning Trump even seemed to encourage violence at his rallies. “We’ve had some violent people as protesters,” he said. “These are people that punch. These are violent people.” (No such videos have been found.) This adds to evidence piling up that the Trump campaign’s culture of violence extends all the way to the top."

Teachers should be given the right to euthanize children like this. They can't discipline their class appropriately without the death penalty.
