The Southern Poverty Law Center just provided an excellent, detailed, and pretty comprehensive list of ways in which Trumpf and his band of monsters are working to erode civil rights. Of course, there are things left out: I am not sure that “Revving up the Deportation Machine,” as described, goes far enough in terms of the expanded racism toward Hispanics, and the discussion of contempt towards Africans, Hatians and African Americans seems too limited. The increased use of prisons as ways to punish minorities and line the pockets of owners of private prisons is also an important additional issues. And of course, there are also numerous classist issues, such as destruction of healthcare, for lower income individuals, that also probably belong to be counted as civil rights. And finally (on my list), threats to the press also threaten civil rights. Nevertheless, it seems like a great starting point.
Each of the areas they do cover is pretty thorough, and well-documented. A relatively detailed and comprehensive discussion such as this one also provides long lists of issues for discussion. If I were a teacher in junior high or above, I would assign this as homework. Even for anyone who disagrees in part, I would challenge that person to make his/her case. Imo, every decent teacher and school should be looking for ways to fight the hate. This is one.
