Teachers Union Claims ‘The Trump Effect’ Is Warping Kids’ Minds

The National Education Association says Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant stance is emboldening schoolyard bullies.

Back when she was teaching sixth grade in Utah, Lily Eskelsen García liked to use the presidential election as a civics lesson every four years. She would assign her students to watch the debates and interview their parents about the candidates.

But today, she says she wouldn’t urge them to tune in for the hate-fueled debacle that is 2016.

“I’m not so sure I’d really want my kids to watch this debate,” said Eskelsen García, now president of the National Education Association, on a call with reporters Monday. “It’s really kind of disturbing what they’re hearing out there.”

The NEA is the largest labor union in the country and represents 3 million educators, roughly three-quarters of them women. It has endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, and now it’s leading a campaign that portrays her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, as a schoolyard bully who’s filling children with hate.

The union, which has steered at least $1 million to a Clinton-affiliated super PAC, plans to run online ads and send mailers to voters’ homes hammering that message in battleground states.

“There is bullying going on, and [there are] children who feel that they are given permission to repeat some of the things they’re hearing out of Donald Trump’s mouth,” Eskelsen García said.

The Clinton campaign and its allies have referred to the GOP nominee’s alleged influence as the “Trump Effect.” Its existence hasn’t been scientifically proven, but anecdotes from schools are out there. Eskelsen García referenced one of them: White students at a high school basketball game in Indiana holding up a picture of Trump and shouting “Build a wall” to their opponents from a largely Latino school.

Trump has lashed out against Mexican and Muslim immigrants, vowing to return all undocumented immigrants to their countries of origin and to ban Muslims from entering the United States.

This is really sad - but not surprising.

I hope the "Trump Effect" is influencing the kids today.

Beats the hell out of the pussies you liberals are trying to turn them into.:wink:

This is an excellent point.
We must quickly boot all the illegals and their kids, to protect them from bullies.
You people are pathetic and sick.
 
Barry Hussein has been president for almost eight years and the teachers union thinks the last six months of a presidential campaign is "warping kid's minds". Does the teachers union think kid's minds are warped by a self made billionaire while Hillary declared herself head of the "bimbo eruption squad" and sent her political attack dogs out to intimidate and threaten victims of her husband's sexual abuse.

Well this is the left for ya. Worry about Trump being responsible for bullying, but don't worry about DumBama forcing weirdos in dresses into your daughters school bathrooms or showers.

Kinda gives you an idea of liberal priorities in this country.

Trump effect?

This one?



Perhaps they should have less safe spaces so that people could deal with FACTS - you know, the ones they are supposed to teach.


A parent is a fool to send their child to public schools. A literal fool

Child cruelty sending your kid to public school.

Public school was always the default position. Public school districts should exercise the right to reject students. That is true school choice.
 
If the union was GOP it would be just fine. America...land of the teacher bashers. If its so good and lucrative then give up a decent wage and solve the problem.

Most teachers are fine. Let's get rid of the unions.

At least ditch the public sector unions. I mean, first our gov't mandates public services and then gives those unions the power to withhold them. It's madness!

At least ditch the public sector unions

Yes. They should be outlawed.

You people who are so anti-education and especially anti-American education and education unions....you belittle and castigate American education and compare it unfavorably with other countries' education systems. Yet all those countries with what are considered better edcuation systems have strong teacher unions. Teacher unions help education and children. But you are too biased and uneducated to know that.
