Yes, we all know how closely American fourth graders follow politics. I still have fond memories of how excited my children would get for Presidential speeches. So excited. Ahh good times. I bet the really stupid racist and bigoted children are even more interested in American politics.
I’m being specific to the children who are using Trumps rhetoric in order to bully other children. They are being influenced. I’m not saying all children are influenced by Trump. But clearly, the cases presented in the article demonstrate how children are being influenced by Trump.
When WashPo doesn’t have a pay wall I will be glad to look into their political accusations further. Until then, now way I am handing more of my money to Bezos. He gets enough anyway.
Most likely coming down to them from their parents, not Trump directly. And they aren’t using Trumps rhetoric. More like distorting it. As far as I am aware Trump has never said anything about deporting legal aliens or citizens. And as I said earlier, I could care less if kids tell an illegal he doesn’t belong here, that happens to be the law of the land.
There was no paywall for this for me. I have noticed a trend with them. They tend to exempt their stories that are critical of Trump from their paywall. It’s almost like they hate Trump more than they like money.
Brah, bullying is a cultural taboo. Seeing the president actively engage in it and his supporters actively defend it (e.g. “He’s a counter-puncher!”, “Finally a politician who tells it like it is!”) gives kids all the justification they need.
