And everyone knows the SPLC wouldn’t just make stuff up.

Via Salon:

Every political race has attacks, bad blood, insults, and negative ads, but the 2016 contest may be the harshest, nastiest campaign ever. A new survey of almost 2,000 teachers by the Southern Poverty Law Center shows that the anger and hatred is filtering down to school children.

Here’s the SPLC:

The report – “The Trump Effect: The Impact of the Presidential Campaign on Our Nation’s Schools” – found that the campaign is 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.

Teachers also reported an increase in the bullying, harassment and intimidation of students whose races, religions or nationalities have been the verbal targets of candidates.

A black student worried about black people being sent back to Africa; a Latino boy asked, “Is the wall here yet?” Teachers, most of who try to stay politically neutral, are confused as how to deal with it the fear and anxiety they’re picking up from their students.
