I am only an aide but since trump got in office the one on one i work with (10 yrs old) has been praising him nonstop making me uncomfortable which is fine i can deal with it i am an adult but i just worry the things they says will hurt other students. the other day kid said they likes trump because will get rid of all immigrants and stop trans people. Mind you child is latinx themselves and school i work at is 99% latinx. Obviously this is a child repeating what they hear from parents but its still can be hurtful. in this current political climate is there anything i can say or do without losing my job for talking "politics"
kids say stupid shit. try not to internalize it so much
Do you know of anyone at the school who would support an "anti-prejudice/anti-hate" kind of club at lunch/after school?
Should he automatically identify with immigrants because he's Latinx?
Yes! skin color determines what team youre on and who you have to vote for etc.
I banned politics in my classroom

Kids are funny like that. Most kids don't understand politics but some probably think Trump is funny or something
