Words matter and Republican presidential presumptive nominee Donald Trump has plenty of them that may be more damaging to our children than we know. They are messages of:
Hate
“You can tell them to go f--- themselves.”
Violence
“I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose any voters, okay?”
Prejudice
“When Mexico sends its people, they’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists.”
He doesn’t seem to care what he says, but what our children hear can have an impact on them for life. If a presidential nominee can say these things, well then...
What Donald Trump says is out of our control. What we say to our children about Donald Trump, to counter the hate, is within our control.
