KABC: Immigration raids impact: Attendance dropped, bullying increased in high schools, study finds

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The recent immigration raids have impacted student well-being, enrollment and attendance, while bullying has increased, according to high school principals across the nation surveyed in a recent study released Tuesday.

The UCLA/ UC Riverside study found that among an array of challenges principals said impacted their schools, the impact of immigration enforcement was the issue that drew the most attention.

Out of the more than 600 high school principals surveyed, nearly 40% said students from immigrant families have been bullied.

According to the study, some principals reasoned that such bullying directed at students from immigrant families emerges from a political climate that has normalized attacks on immigrant communities.


The study cited is titled "The Fear is Everywhere" and is at https://idea.gseis.ucla.edu/publications/files/fear-is-everywhere-report
