An intensive study conducted by The Washington Post has revealed that children in the U.S. are adapting President Donald Trumps racist and xenophobic rhetoric in order to bully their classmates. The newspaper analyzed 28,000 articles spanning the course of Trumps presidency that specifically referenced elementary, middle, and high school bullying.
The analysis revealed students frequently bullied other classmates in ways that were racist and xenophobic. More than 300 incidents were recorded of kids and even some staff members bullying others by using chants from his campaign rallies, and in some instances, by using his name.
Out of those instances, 75 percent involved inflammatory language that was directed at Hispanic, Muslim, and black students.
In one particularly shocking instance of bullying, a 12-year-old told a Mexican-American classmate that all Mexicans should go back behind the wall. When the students mother approached the bully to ask him about the remark, he allegedly beat her unconscious.
