Trump sets poor example

How do we stop bullying in our schools when Donald Trump espouses bullying? It seems like on an almost daily basis he calls someone a maniac, belittles their looks, is discriminatory or makes fun of their nationality or religion.

Is this the right message we should be sending to our children? Is this the behavior we want them to emulate? And it comes from someone who could become our president. I shudder at the thought of what defense our teachers will have to keep civility in their classrooms.
