Atlanta, November 15 (RHC)-- In the United States, the Southern Poverty Law Center is reporting there have been at least 200 instances of physical and verbal harassment, abuse and intimidation against immigrants, people of color, Muslims and women in the wake of last week’s presidential election. 

In one case reported to SPLC, a boy told a 12-year-old African-American girl at school: "Now that Trump is president, I’m going to shoot you and all the Blacks I can find."  A teacher in Washington state reported students chanting "Build a wall" in the cafeteria.  The most commonly reported place where physical or verbal harassment occurred was in K-12 schools. 

This comes as school districts in Boston, St. Paul, Minnesota, and Denver, Colorado, have begun offering counseling services to students who are distraught and fearful both about Trump’s election and the possibility of deportation, as well as the ensuing attacks, threats and harassment faced by students of color.
