The group “Parents of York County School of Technology Students” said on Facebook that members had received reports that “Trump’s presidential win was announced at school today amidst chants of ‘white power.’ That white students referred to other races as their slaves, and at some points even spit on those students.”

Social media accounts collected by WHP indicated that the racial tensions had caused fights at the school. One student said that she had her breasts grabbed by another student who claimed “it was his right.”

Racist graffiti at Maple Grove High School also supports Donald Trump (Facebook).
Just hours after Donald Trump won 2016 presidential race, students at Maple Grove High School returned to class to find racist messages inspired by the GOP candidate.
On Wednesday, a father of a Maple Grove student posted on Facebook images of graffiti that were taken by his son.
“He does not feel safe at his own school any more,” Fred Ndip said. “I am not sure what to tell him!”
The photos show a locker door with large letters that read: “F*ck N****rs”
Other messages on the door included: “F*ck all porch monkeys,” “Whites only” and “White America.”
The words “Trump Train” were also on the door.

“I went in and looked on the bathroom door and honestly was in shock. That’s the first time I honestly felt like crying at school,” junior Moses Karngbaye told WCCO. “I just walked back to class with my head down, I was like I can’t believe people actually took the time out of their day to write something this offensive.”
Karngbaye said that he took photos of graffiti that said “All you ‘N’ go back to Africa” and “Now the white people are going to take over.”
In a statement on Wednesday, Osseo Area Schools confirmed that the photos were real, and that an investigation was underway.

For those wondering how Donald Trump could ever have won a state like Michigan after it supported Barack Obama this video explains a lot.
A small group of students at Royal Oak Middle School in Detroit, Michigan broke out into chants of “Build the wall” the day after the election, according to The Detroit News.
According to a Facebook video of the event that has now gone viral, “Latino children were crying.” Dee Perez-Scott, who posted the video, said, “the taunts, the “Build that Wall” with such bullying power and hate from children to children. Just Horrifying!”
“We addressed this incident when it occurred. We are addressing it today,” Royal Oak Schools superintendent Shawn Lewis-Lakin said in a statement today. “We are working with our students to help them understand the impact of their words and actions on others in their school community,” the statement continued.
As of Thursday morning, officers from the Royal Oak Police Department have been on hand and will be throughout the day, Lt. Keith Spencer said.

Doll hanging from noose at Canisius College (Twitter).
Students at a western New York college are alarmed after they found a black doll hung in effigy on campus — and they wondered whether racial harassment will grow worse with the election of Donald Trump.
The doll hanging from a noose was discovered Wednesday in an elevator at Canisius College in Buffalo, where the student government has promised to address the incident, reported WKBW-TV.
A black student-athlete told the TV station he was considering leaving the campus, saying he’d experienced similar racist bullying since enrolling at Canisius, where 71.9 percent of students are white and 6.9 percent are black.
The college president said Canisius would investigate the incident and punish anyone responsible for the “stupid act.”
Several students told the TV station they feared racial harassment would grow worse with the election of Trump as president.
About 90 miles away, in Wellsville, New York, residents painted over swastika graffiti found on a baseball dugout in town.

I would really like to think that every single person who voted for Trump was deeply ashamed by what they have done, that there was an ounce of decency in them somewhere, but I can’t think that, because this is what they wanted. This is the poisonous shit you have force fed your own children. You should be beyond shamed, but you are not.
(A) I’m scared for the children targeted (and yes, that’s a great many of them in various groups);
(B) I’m disgusted by the parents of the children doing the targeting. Seriously, you are disgusting.
Today, I just keep crying.
My heart goes out to those kids. Brexit was horrible already with the vicious racist attacks that followed, but this?
There’s nothing like instilling trauma early, it goes deep, to the core, and you can never fully shake it. All kids can be cruel, but the ones who have been primed and force fed shit by their parents? They aim to be cruel.
Those children. I can’t even.
Wait until they’re old enough to vote.
Alexander:
Is this another of your “oh hey, it’s not bad yet” assholisms, Alexander? Because I’m damn tired of them.

Yes. Sorry. I know I’m not helping, but I’m a bit bitter.
I’ll refrain from commenting for a while.
“We are working with our students to help them understand the impact of their words and actions on others in their school community,” the statement continued.
Really goddamn lame response to the intolerable. Compare to what they’d say if some student were caught with a decigram of pot.
Pierce @ 9:
For me, much depends on the age of the children. It’s not a child’s fault when they have poisonous parents, who pour shit by the tonne into their heads, and it’s common enough that a child will parrot such sentiments without a true understanding of the impact of what they said. There is every chance that these children will learn as they grow, and realize what racist dipshits have been in charge of raising them. I was raised by an intense bigot, who was full of hate for so many peoples.
Children should, at the very least, have the opportunity to learn about the effects of their language, the dangers of mob mentality, and poisonous cloud of mindless bigotry. Yes, some of them will grow up to be adult assholes full of hate, but others won’t, they’ll think, and they’ll learn. They not only should have that chance, they need it, because they certainly aren’t going to be presented with an empathetic viewpoint at home, will they?
Caine @ # 10: … it’s common enough that a child will parrot such sentiments without a true understanding …
Gotta concede that point, especially after re-reading to sort out which comment went with which incident.
But mostly because of a personal third-grade memory, of joining in the cheers when our principal announced that President Kennedy had just been shot. I like to hope I’ve come a ways since 1963 Mississippi.
I think the problem is that many of them know exactly what they’re saying and they’ve just been told that it’s totally acceptable to do so.
Fucking heartbreaking that little children are being targeted.
Giliell:
I’m sure that is the case with some of them, but I like to think that children should be given the benefit of doubt. There’s still so much growing and learning to do. Hopefully, some of them will come to understand and change their point of view.
Saad:
I read in Shaun King’s twitter stream that kindergartners were being targeted. Wee sproglets. So, we’re now a nation where adults are proud of making tiny children panic and cry.
Caine
Sure, kids will imitate others and group and peer pressure are mighty things (which is frightening when you think about the future). And I will also say that the younger the kids, the less they are actually responsible (which doesn’t diminish the harm they’re causing)
