I did not vote for you but I will respect your victory. I am a veteran teacher and principal and feel that adults should model the behaviors we expect from children. As you traveled the country giving speeches, you did not act the way I would want my students to see as an example.
I need you to know that today was traumatic for children in schools all over this country.
They cried because they are afraid their families will no longer be parents bound to one another by law. They cried because they are afraid that their friends and family will be deported. They cried because they are disabled and feel that you make fun of them. They are terrified that others will copy your behavior.
Imagine teaching a room full of traumatized children as the result of a presidential election.
I need you to apologize to the children. Let them know that your behavior was nothing but antics to create a good show for your followers so that you would win, and that you plan to protect them as President of the United States. It's very important.
I know you are busy writing letters to many people. Please write a letter to the children of the United States apologizing for your behavior and let them know that they do not have to be afraid.
Thank you,
Wendy Zacuto
