Donald Trump continues to be the liberal boogeyman, being blamed for every problem in society with reckless abandon, with a total disregard for truth or sense.
The latest instance of this vilification of Trump comes from the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), who blamed to billionaire businessman for bullying in schools across the United States. Forget that bullying among children has been around for thousands of years — this is still somehow Donald Trump’s fault, apparently.
Logic has never been a strong supporter of any of the leftist attacks against the presumptive GOP nominee, but this one might just take the cake. Not only does it show how ridiculous the liberal left has become, but it shows how truly scared they are of a Trump candidacy. They wouldn’t be trying so hard to vilify a man if they truly believd that he had no chance at the White House.

Could this be the reason? How liberal discipline policies are making schools less …

Convinced traditional discipline is racist … teachers are dealing with increasingly violent and disrespectful student behavior … hillary clinton
bs
Bullying began when the liberal educators messed up the minds of our youth. Bullying started long before Mr trump came onto the political scene.
Suck it up pansies
bullying was around before trump was even born.next lie.
A fight at Murry Bergtraum High School in Manhattan was caught on cellphone video in 2012. Under a new city school discipline policy, such incidents could result in counseling, not suspensions.
New York public-school students caught stealing, doing drugs or even attacking someone can avoid suspension under new “progressive” discipline rules adopted this month.
Most likely, they will be sent to a talking circle instead, where they can discuss their feelings.
Convinced traditional discipline is racist because blacks are suspended at higher rates than whites, New York City’s Department of Education has in all but the most serious and dangerous offenses replaced out-of-school suspensions with a touchy-feely alternative punishment called “restorative justice,” which isn’t really punishment at all. It’s therapy.
“Every reasonable effort must be made to correct student behavior through…restorative practices,” advises the city’s new 32-page discipline code. Except everywhere it’s been tried, this softer approach has backfired.
Yes, other large urban school districts are reporting fewer suspensions since adopting the non-punitive approach. But that doesn’t necessarily mean fewer infractions.
In fact, many districts are seeing more classroom disruptions and violence — a national trend that ought to set off warning bells for New York school officials.
What’s more, the movement — which is driven by new race-based anti-discipline guidelines issued by the Obama administration — is creating friction between teachers unions and the liberal mayors they otherwise support.
Politicians can praise the new system, but it’s teachers who must deal with the disruptive and sometimes violent results.
‘You have to have consequences’
Last month, for instance, the Chicago Teachers Union complained the city’s revised student-discipline code has left teachers struggling to control unruly kids.
“It’s just basically been a totally lawless few months,” one teacher told the Chicago Tribune.

In June, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel announced that the district, as part of a “Suspension and Expulsion Reduction Plan,” was “moving away from a zero-tolerance policy and promoting restorative practices.”
Students who bully classmates can no longer be removed from classrooms except for the worst offenses, and only then with the consent of a district supervisor.
Just as Mayor de Blasio promised last month in announcing New York’s revised discipline policy, Emanuel assured skeptics the more “holistic” approach — which he says addresses the “root causes” of bad behavior — would still provide “a safe learning environment.”
But so far this school year, the Tribune reports students have suffered little consequence for infractions as serious as groping a teacher and bringing hollow-point bullets to class.“You have to have consequences,” Chicago fifth-grade teacher John Engels told the paper. “If you knew the cops weren’t going to enforce the speed limit…you’d go 100 miles an hour.”
In Syracuse, meanwhile, teachers complain student behavior has worsened since the school district collapsed discipline structures in favor of restorative justice practices. They say teens are more apt to fight, mouth off to teachers and roam the halls under the more lenient policy. They’re even seeing increasingly violent behavior among elementary school children.
While the approach may be “laudable,” Syracuse Teachers Association President Kevin Ahern said in a recent letter to the Syracuse Post-Standard, it has created a “systemic inability to administer and enforce consistent consequences for violent and highly disruptive student behaviors” that “put students and staff at risk and make quality instruction impossible.”
‘Kids control the classroom’
Los Angeles Unified School District is seeing a similar spike in campus offenses after its school superintendent followed federal orders to reduce suspensions of African-Americans. Even threats against teachers are ignored, as administrators’ hands are tied by the new policy.
So hundreds of years of bullying is a result of Mr Trump Lmao ….these people are freaking morons!!!!!!
It’s called shity parenting plain and simple
It’s the stupid teachers
The teachers union needs to go away so teachers can teach our children instead of indoctrinate them to the Democratic Party BS.
