“Hateful rhetoric has real, often violent consequences. In some of the most violent incidents, the perpetrators invoked Trump. Schoolchildren are affected. A recent report from the Southern Poverty Law Center, The Trump Effect:The Impact on Our Nation’s Schools, found immigrant & Muslim students are experiencing more bullying.Trump’s rhetoric is “producing an alarming level of fear & anxiety among children of color and inflaming racial and ethnic tensions in the classroom.” A number of journalists who are Jewish were attacked online for articles that are critical of Trump. Many have been targeted with the (((echo))) symbol, used by white supremacists online to single out the names of Jewish people and coordinate attacks against them. All this work that has been done to try to stem racism in this country has sort of been unraveled, at least among the GOP, and that has to be fixed.”
