人兽性交 responds to false New York Post article
On November 28th, we released The Trump Effect: The Impact of the 2016 Presidential Election on our Nation鈥檚 Schools, which compiled responses to our online survey of K-12 educators across the country.聽
More than 10,000 teachers, counselors, administrators and others who work in schools responded to the survey, and the data indicate that the results of the election are having a profoundly negative impact on schools and students.
Last Monday, the New York Post published an article with a headline claiming that we 鈥渂uried Trump-related 鈥榟ate crimes鈥� against white kids.鈥�
In our view, the Post got it wrong.聽
First, the 笔辞蝉迟鈥檚 reference to 鈥渉ate crimes鈥� is inaccurate. In response to our survey, teachers reported an array of incidents involving harassment, bullying or intimidation of children. But we did not describe them as hate crimes.
Second, we did not 鈥渂ury鈥� anything.
We asked in the survey whether educators had 鈥渉eard derogatory language or slurs about white students鈥� because we were concerned about all students.聽 聽About 20 percent of the respondents answered affirmatively to the question 鈥� a statistic that we readily shared with the Post reporter.聽 We included in our report a number of comments from educators who answered the survey question affirmatively. Our analysis of the comments showed that the language in question almost never was actually directed at white students; more often it was expressed as disappointment and frustration with white people in general for having voted for Donald Trump. Out of approximately 10,000 comments in which educators described specific incidents at school, only 103 鈥� or about 1 percent 鈥� involved statements that could be interpreted as anti-white. Of those, fewer than five were directed at white students.
The comments made by schoolchildren against white people paled in comparison to the acts and words used to harass or intimidate immigrants, Muslim students and African Americans, both in quality and quantity. Even so, the fact is that we did include examples of derogatory language against white people in the report; it only strengthened our findings that the election has had a generally negative impact on school climates and students 鈥� regardless of their race, ethnicity or religion.聽 Similarly, in a separate report we published 鈥� which compiled bias-related incidents occurring across the country in the 10 days after the election 鈥� we also included incidents targeting Trump supporters.
