http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jun/09/california-primary-trump-rhetoric-school-bullyMore than two-thirds of the teachers in the survey reported that students especially immigrants, children of immigrants and Muslims have expressed worries about what might happen to them or their families after the November election. More than half reported an increase in uncivil political discourse, and more than a third observed an increase in anti-Muslim or anti-immigrant sentiment.
The survey, conducted in March and April, was not scientific. It was based on teachers who chose to respond, not a random sample. Nevertheless, it provided useful data and telling examples, Costello said.
A North Carolina high school teacher reported having Latino students who carry birth certificates and social security cards to school because they fear deportation. A Tennessee kindergarten teacher said a Latino pupil, told by classmates he will be deported and trapped behind a wall, asks every day: Is the wall here yet?

Children who are 1st generation immigrants, scared they are going to be deported. I never bring up politics but the kids always bring it up. I hear them during recess talking about Don the con. These kids are ages 8-11 years. The Asian and Russian children in my classes are also nervous.
