of the statements bring up the harmful, hateful slurs from trump. So everyday, for example, the Mexican American students will be forced to see their cultural background listed side by side with the toxic words "rapist" and "drug dealer." That's not OK nor is it appropriate for children. It doesn't matter that the word "not" is there. That's not how the brain works.

A better idea would be to address each group but then use the message that was addressed to "all" the students.
