The presidential election has had a significantly negative effect on students across the new country, many educators believe, according to a new report from the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). More than 10,000 school workers, including teachers, administrators and even counselors responded to the survey. According to the SPLC, the results indicate a “crisis.”
The results are consistent with previous reports indicating that K-12 schools have been a common site for incidents of hate even more so than on college campuses. The SPLC’s previous report calculated 183 incidents at K-12 schools in the 10 days following the election, and 140 at universities.
