Better they should respond to problems with violence than be 'pussies.'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.

Teachers Union Claims ‘The Trump Effect’ Is Warping Kids’ Minds
I can't even believe the shit that's put up in politics by our left wingers any more. The rdean "conservatives have poopy pants" threads are in overdrve. Look at this drivel. A teacher in Utah? Makes it to the front page of politics at USMB. This is pitiful left wingers.
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.

They're really having a hard time trying to find something on Trump that relates to the actual job of being President. What he paid in taxes has nothing to do with the job. How he ran his business has nothing to do with the job. How many times he's been married has nothing to do with the job. How many times he sued or has been sued has nothing to do with the job.
Yet most of what we have on Hil-Liar has everything to do with being President. The fact she doesn't have the intelligence to realize what is and is not classified material, how she handles sensitive information for our country, the devious things she has done in handling her emails, her consistent lies to the American people and US Congress about serious matters.
But the left wishes to ignore the things that actually have to do with taking the job as President. Instead, go back 20 years to find how much money Trump lost in business dealings.
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.
Now there's a typical lib: giving credit to unions that have absolutely nothing to do with the actual teaching of children.
If these unions didn't protect bad teachers, maybe they would have a better reputation. You don't need to go to other countries, you can just compare non-union schools to union schools in the US to see how FOS you are.
Unions mean force against ones will. If we need unions so bad, why don't we taxpayers who ultimately pay those unions have a vote whether we want to keep them or not? Bet that's something libs would never want to see happen.
And yet, those who are against teacher unions attribute all kinds of issues having to do with the actual teaching of children to unions. Go figure.

It's becoming more than bizarre seeing headlines like " Bob in Butthole Wyoming doesn't like Trump " or " Candy from Perky Place Pennsylvania believes Trump won't be a good President".
On the bright side though, it seems to prove what we've known all along. Trump has the left becoming completely unhinged. I love it!
The people who are truly unhinged are those who support Trump. You have to be if your support such a numbskull. He is completely unsuitable to lead our country and the free world. Even the most important people in the Republican party do not support him or only with grave reservations, simply because he is the Republican nominee. Get a grip on reality.

What makes you think they are unneeded?Why?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!

Yes. They should be outlawed.
