I woke up to my alarm, checked the weather, and atop the page in bold red: Breaking- trump targets (school in my area).
I've already seen my town listed in another article last week because my state has sanctuary cities, I didn't even know we were one. My son's school is mostly Spanish speaking folks.
That headline had me in a panic. Especially because the article just said "targeted". Targeted how? Cutting funding for one town? Sending ICE? Wtf does that mean.
I check my States subreddit (the only place I still lurk) and nothing. I was afraid to send him to school this morning.
Not to mention the shootings that can happen, that's always in the back of my head, but now this too?
I can't wait until this year is over, and I cannot believe I am beginning to consider homeschooling from fear something could happen to my son in school :(
Yeah, after the initial shock this morning it's easy to understand this is fear mongering. My state is fighting it.
We are long standing Americans, we are at minimum fourth gen, to basically English settlers depending at what grandparent you look at- but it's still terrifying.
These are his friends, his classmates, mostly puerto rican.. but... no one should live in fear.
