They noted a disturbing uptick in incidents involving swastikas, derogatory language, Nazi salutes, and Confederate flags. Teachers reported that children of color were worried for the safety of themselves and their families.  \nNow, reports of hate and bias in school emerge regularly in the news media.

In Baraboo, Wisconsin, dozens of male high school students, almost all white, were seen giving a Nazi salute in a prom photo. In Idaho, elementary school staff dressed up as Mexicans and Trump’s wall on Halloween. At an elite private school in New York City, a video went viral showing two sixth-grade girls wearing blackface and swinging their arms around like apes. There have been numerous stories about African American or Latinx athletes being taunted by white students.  \nThe reality is that while these media reports popup with alarming regularity, they represent just a tiny fraction of the hate and bias incidents that educators are encountering in the classroom.  \nIn our recent report, Hate at School, from which this article is excerpted, we identified 821 school-based incidents that were reported in the media in 2018. By comparison, the K–12 educators who responded to a new questionnaire reported 3,265 such incidents in the fall of 2018 alone. We found that:  \n• More than two-thirds ofthe 2,776 educators who responded to the questionnaire witnessed a hate or bias incident in their school during the fall of 2018.  \n• Fewer than 5 percent of the incidents witnessed by educators were reported in the news media.  \n4 AMERICAN EDUCATOR | FALL 2019  \n• Racism appears to be the motivation behind most hate and bias incidents in school, accounting for 63 percent of incidents reported in the news and 33 percent of incidents reported by teachers.  \n• Of the incidents reported by educators, those involving racism and anti-Semitism were the most likely tobe reported in the news media; anti-Latinx and anti-LGBTQ incidents were the least likely.  \n• Most of the hate and bias incidents witnessed by educators were not addressed by school leaders. No one was disciplinedin 57 percent of them. Nine times out of 10, administrators failed to denounce the bias or reaffirm school values.  \nThe picture that emerges is the exact opposite of what schools should be: places where students feel welcome, safe, and supported by the adults who are responsible ","cbCaibpXyhJIeget","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibpXyhJIeget","pdf",221824,"English","# Assessing—and Interrupting—Intolerance at School\n## The “Trump Effect” and incident patterns\n## How bias at school affects students","[{\"question\":\"What does the article mean by the “Trump Effect”?\",\"answer\":\"It describes a surge of incidents where children appear to emulate racist, xenophobic, and coarse language used during the presidential campaign, including slurs and symbols in schools.\"},{\"question\":\"How do educator-reported incidents compare to what appears in the news?\",\"answer\":\"Educators reported thousands of incidents through questionnaires, while media reports represented only a small fraction of the hate and bias educators encountered.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does bias at school harm students?\",\"answer\":\"Discrimination is linked to measurable adverse effects on health, including stress-related symptoms, depression, and school avoidance, and it also affects mental and physical well-being.\"}]","Assessing—and Interrupting—Intolerance at School | PDF",13]
