What this man is describing is a violent sexual assault, instigated and orchestrated by Trump himself.

I've been told that it is not.

Watch These Kids Talk About How Trump Has Made Their Lives Hell

"They've been calling me 'terrorist' at my school."



Donald Trump has warned of Mexican rapists and drug dealers, called for a ban on Muslims entering the country, publicly mocked a New York Times reporter with a disability, and made lewd comments toward women. A new video from Hillary Clinton's campaign suggests that America's kids are watching—and that many are feeling the aftershocks every day at school.

Clinton first raised the idea of a so-called "Trump effect" in an August speech in Reno, Nevada. "Parents and teachers are already worrying about what they call the 'Trump effect,'" Clinton told supporters. "They report that bullying and harassment are on the rise in our schools, especially targeting students of color, Muslims, and immigrants." The term was popularized by the Southern Poverty Law Center, which in April released a survey of 2,000 K-12 teachers highlighting real concern about the effect the campaign's hostile rhetoric has had inside America's classrooms. More than half of respondents saw an uptick in uncivil political discourse, and more than one-third saw "an increase in anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant sentiment." Of the 5,000 comments taken in the survey, more than 1,000 cited Trump specifically.

It's difficult to know whether bullying and harassment are actually on the rise this year. The SPLC report was unscientific, and federal bullying data likely won't be released for some time. (Data from the National Center for Education Statistics shows that school-based bullying declined between 2007 and 2013.) But teachers and experts alike worry about the influence this election will continue to have on children in the future.

"The aggressive name-calling and mocking we have seen on both sides of this campaign has a ripple effect on our society, affecting both adults and children who learn by example how you achieve power and status by belittling your opponent," Dewey Cornell, a forensic clinical psychologist and education professor at the University of Virginia, wrote in an email. "I expect the effects are not just in the classroom, but in the workplace and in homes across the country."

Hillary Clinton says that as president, she would "tackle the epidemic of gun violence in America," while her opponent Donald Trump would "do nothing."

At a rally in Cincinnati eight days before Election Day, Clinton explained how she and Trump differ on the issue of guns. The National Rifle Association endorsed Trump, and "in return" Trump has adopted various anti-gun control positions, she said.

"He’s even said, on his very first day in office, he would require every school in America to let people carry guns into our classrooms," Clinton said. "How can anyone think our schools would be safer with more guns?"

We wondered if Trump really has said he’d put allowing guns in classrooms at the top of his priorities list.

This fall we've been performing a couple of experiments on the effects of introducing gun culture on universities and in Presidential campaigns.

Gun culture is as toxic when forced on education as it is when forced on Presidential elections.

I don't need to tell anybody here about the sickening, disgusting effects that the introduction of gun culture into this Presidential campaign has had, from loose talk of assassination, armed voter intimidation, and even talk of the possibility of overthrowing the votes of the people by force of arms.

The introduction of gun culture into this Presidential election has increased anxiety, tension, uncertainty, and fear.

This fall has also been the first semester of the introduction of gun culture into the University of Texas, and the effects on university culture has been much the same as the effects of gun culture in this Presidential campaign.

Courageous women like Ana Lopez, a leader of UT's "Cocks, not Glocks" movement, responded quickly to defend themselves and their university, with grace, humor and wit, in the very best traditions of student campus activism.

Of course, gun culture demanded that a fictional "snuff film" video be made of the assassination of Ana Lopez, with blood splattering everywhere.

The introduction of gun culture onto university campuses has increased anxiety, tension, uncertainty, and fear.

Is this just a coincidence?

Or is gun culture toxic?
