Looks like “education” officials in Washington State think school kids are so fragile they need special help “recovering” from Donald Trump rallies. And so, to keep Washington’s special snowflakes from melting away, the state has created a new program to help kids get over the “increasing levels of fear and anxiety” because of the so-called “Trump effect.”
That’s right, kids just can’t take the “fear” of a political rally… well, at least one that the extremist, left-wingers running Washington’s miseducation establishment approve of, anyway.
According to the Daily Caller:
An official in the Washington education department has sent an email to the state’s schools urging them to prepare students for “increasing levels of fear and anxiety” because of the so-called “Trump effect.”
Teachers are told to create “safe places,” plan for “recovery” from election rhetoric, incorporate election-related lessons in the classroom, and provide students with “protection” who are exposed to the rhetoric.
The email, which was obtained by The Daily Caller News Foundation, was sent out by Mike Donlin, program supervisor of the School Safety Center for the Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction. Donlin sent the email to a mailing list of school officials in charge of complying with state law concerning harassment, intimidation, and bullying in schools.
Bearing the subject “The Impact of the Presidential Campaign on Schools,” Donlin’s June 16 email warns recipients that they should be taking preemptive action to stop Trump’s rhetoric from hurting students.
“As we close this school year, we need to be aware of a phenomenon called the Trump Effect,” the email says. “Regardless of one’s politics, the impact of this year’s political rhetoric on K12 schools is huge. It has produced increasing levels of fear and anxiety among students of all ages. Fear levels are becoming especially high among ethnic, racial and linguistic minority, and LGBTQ youth. Perception is reality.”
Is it any wonder that kids come out of school unable to read and lacking any knowledge at all about math, science and history?
