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 :(
Thank you for saying this. You're absolutely right. I posted this with fear in my heart this morning.
Thank you to you and everyone here for helping me keep strong.
For the record, you are also absolutely right to fear for your child. A good parent cares, and you care.
Heck, I'm way over on the other side of the Atlantic and I'm scared for my kids in school every day. The shootings and gang violence and knife attacks and car rammings have spread here too.
