Educators express concerns and seek guidance on rising hate speech and acts in schools.
Teachers report an increase in hate speech and far-right ideologies among students.
Sample Educator Conversations:
- “My 8th graders are openly discussing Nazis and Hitler with adoration. I’ve even had to write one up for doing a Nazi salute.”
- “A kid did a Nazi salute in a class I was subbing for. I’ve never seen that before, but I’m guessing a lot of us are starting to see it now.”
- “My district has added ICE threats to our classification of physical threats. Kids have been suspended.”
- “Students are making ICE jokes; I’ve heard them, and students on the receiving end are being traumatized.”
