Some kids i talked to told me theyre aware of classmates now afraid to go to school and other kids who are refusing to do the pledge of lightning. Most of them pledge of allegiance. Most of them are afraid to go to school. Theyre afraid to get deported. They stopped doing pledge of allegiance. I saw that also. The word for worried in spanish, 14yearold translates for his mom.
