Trump promised mass deportations. Educators worry fear will keep immigrants' kids from school
Regardless of whether President-elect Donald Trump follows through on his pledge to deport millions of immigrants, educators around the U.S. are bracing for upheaval.
Summary
Educators nationwide are bracing for the impact of Donald Trump’s mass deportation plans, which could create widespread fear among immigrant families and disrupt students’ education.
Despite existing protections against immigration enforcement in schools, many worry the rescission of policies like the “sensitive locations” guidance could lead to arrests near campuses, sparking panic and school absenteeism.
Districts are preparing by training staff to protect students and offering legal resources to families, but concerns remain over political backlash and the psychological toll on immigrant communities.
Schools emphasize protecting students’ right to education regardless of immigration status.
Seems to align with keeping the general public as uneducated as possible.
The more uneducated a population as a whole the easier for a government to control.
Aligns with the belief many right wingers have that educated people are just "indoctrinated libs".
That’s fine, he loves “the poorly educated”.
