National Education Association (NEA), is going to spend 6 figures on a digital campaign and direct mail buy to help amplify their message about the alarming trend of increased bullying due to the 2016 presidential election, which has been dubbed the “Trump effect.”

Before the Trump supporters claim this is just a media smear (or another one of their usual excuses)- get over it. Kids bullying because of something they saw someone running for PRESIDENT is unacceptable, no matter how you look at it... period. If Hillary stuff related to bullying is going on at schools- that should be stopped too.

Social learning theory was verified decades ago, and the way that media has expanded in the decades since has probably maximised the effects, especially on the young and impressionable:

It's made worse if their parents support him, thus facilitating the thinking that it must be right, just as his mafia friends raise their kids with the belief that murder is fine. Psychological anchoring.
