So found this in WaPo. Since Trump has been elected there have been over 300 cases of kids being bullied because they’re Hispanic, POC, or Muslim. These are the incidents that were reported in new stories across the country, there has to be more that didn’t make it into a news story.
During the same time there were 45+ times where a kid identify with Trump was harassed.
Now what got my dander up was Staph Grisham response to WaPo :
Asked about Trump’s effect on student behavior, White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham noted that first lady Melania Trump — whose “Be Best” campaign denounces online harassment — had encouraged kids worldwide to treat one another with respect.
“She knows that bullying is a universal problem for children that will be difficult to stop in its entirety,” Grisham wrote in an email, “but Mrs. Trump will continue her work on behalf of the next generation despite the media’s appetite to blame her for actions and situations outside of her control.”
Really am I wrong to think that if you’re FLOTUS, and you have an anti-bullying campaign, shouldn’t you be held to a standard? If you can’t even stop the bully in your family why in the world would anyone want to listen to your views?
