Frederick County Schools Chief: Stop the Hurtful Language

FREDERICK, Md. (AP) — The Frederick County Public Schools superintendent says she won't tolerate hurtful language targeting minorities that another school official says has increased since the presidential election of Donald Trump.

Superintendent Terry Alban posted a YouTube message Wednesday encouraging students and school workers to immediately report inappropriate comments.

She also reminded teachers to act professionally regardless of their political views.

School system spokesman Michael Doerrer says administrators have reported an uptick since the election in hurtful remarks about immigration, deportation and the wall that the Republican president-elect has pledged to build along the U.S.-Mexican border.
