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 :(

That really sucks. My heart goes out to you. I can’t give any advice, I think others in here are more qualified for that.
