Thread: High school students' mock Trump assassination highlights post-election bullying, harassment

Video at link also talks about San Francisco teachers union offering an anti-Trump lesson plan for teachers in that district labeling President Trump a sexist and racist man "who became president pandering to a huge sexist and racist base". It was created by a teacher who said she hopes to support and empower students.

A skit performed in a south Texas high school English class that portrayed the assassination of Donald Trump is just one of the latest cases of K-12 election hysteria.

Officials at San Antonio’s Marshall High School claim they took "appropriate action" following the skit, in which a student dressed as Trump was shot by a classmate, complete with gunfire sound effects from a cellphone. But some parents say harsher punishment was warranted, and critics worry that political polarization has found its way into schools.

“Honestly I have run out of words to describe how angry I am and how shocked I am that they’re still in school today,” parent Melinda Bean told the San Antonio Express-News.

The misguided skit was just one in a slew of controversial acts happening across the country in the wake of Trump’s win over Democrat Hillary Clinton on Election Day.

Most media coverage following Trump’s victory has focused on sometimes violent protests in cities around the country, but it is now clear the election's reverberations are being felt all the way down to elementary schools.

• Students at a Detroit-area middle school reportedly chanted "build the wall" last week, in an apparent reference to Trump's call for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.
• White students at a central Pennsylvania technical high school reportedly chanted “white power” in the hallways and referred to students of other races as their slaves.
• A 15-year-old Maryland boy wearing a Trump “Make America Great Again” hat was reportedly beaten by a group of high school students.
• Last week, a California high school student was also attacked after she expressed her support for Trump, in an attack captured on cellphone video...

The students who did the mock assassination need to be dealt with severely and the teacher who oversaw it even more so.

I wonder what part of "he won the election by a landslide" the teachers don't understand. It must be that the US is populated by a majority of racists and rapists and whatever! The people spoke with their ballots so why haven't they been HEARD??

I don't understand but I do understand that the media and academia controls what the general population "hears" on a daily basis.

I don't know if I'm making sense, but I honestly thought people would come to a place of, at the very least, acceptance by now and just go about their business, but I guess the ones who are paying for the protests are going to keep at it till someone actually makes an attempt on Trump's life.
