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 :(
I'm right there with you. My kids (who are 7th or 8th generation US citizens, at least, on both sides) go to a school with a high Mexican student body. I've been terrified for months about the exact same thing. I hate this.
Try to move countries, it's not going to get better in the near future. Job opportunities abound abroad. The USA is making enemies so fast the only way forward is down.
We're actively considering it.
