Claire Hughes and Bethany Bump are reporting in the Times Union the superintendent of Shenendehowa Central Schools has reported the number of instances of extreme bigotry have increased in that Clifton Park district during the past week. In a letter sent to parents, Superintendent L. Oliver Robinson wrote that some students "seemingly emboldened by the Trump presidential win" are openly expressing both racist and anti-Muslim sentiments. "We are better than that as a school community and I am soliciting your assistance to ensure that remains the case," Robinson wrote. Since Trump's win on November 8, various schools, universities and other organizations have reported a rise in racial and anti-Muslim harassment. The nature of the incidents that occurred in the Shenendehowa district are unclear. Robinson did not return the Times Union calls asking for elaboration. Read the full story in the Times Union.
