Since the 2016 election campaign, there has been discussion about how the presidential race might've played out in schools across the U.S. Days after Donald Trump claimed the presidency, a middle school in Royal Oak, Michigan made headlines when several students were caught on camera chanting "build the wall" during lunch. A study conducted in November 2016 concluded that Trump's rhetoric has had a negative effect on students' mood and behavior.

A new report from BuzzFeed News shows that this trend has not dissipate: in fact, students have continued to use Trump's words as weapons for bullying. From their investigation, BuzzFeed News managed to uncover more than 50 incidents in which students utilized Trump's quotes or rhetoric while targeting classmates, particularly those of marginalized groups.

The individual anecdotes that were described to BuzzFeed News's reporters include an instance in which a white eighth-grader from Brea, California, reportedly told a black classmate, "Now that Trump won, you're going to have to go back to Africa, where you belong." In Shakopee, Minnesota, a group of high school boys allegedly circled a black girl while singing "The Star Spangled Banner" — only they chose to replace the final line with a horrific made-up lyric: "And the home of the slaves." And it's not just teenagers who are engaging in this awful behavior; a third-grade boy from Louisville, Kentucky reportedly chased a Latinx classmate around the room while yelling about Trump's proposed border wall between the U.S. and Mexico.

Teachers don't seem to know what to do about this epidemic, according to BuzzFeed News. After all, how do adults tell a child not to repeat something that they heard the President of the United States say on television? Brent Emmons, principal of Hood River Middle School in Oregon, explained to BuzzFeed News: "This is my 21st year in education and I’ve never seen a situation like this before. It’s a delicate tightrope to walk. It’s not my role to tell people how to think about political policies, but it is my role to make sure every kid feels safe at the school." Luckily, there are several schools that have taken measures to combat the uptick in bullying. BuzzFeed News noted that some districts, such as Texas's Highland Park and San Diego County, have formed committees specifically designed to brainstorm solutions to the rise in racist behavior from students.
