[EN] How Immigration Raids Are Impacting Local Schools
How do immigration raids impact local schools? In addition to the challenges of sufficient funding - educators and students are facing additional anxiety, fear, and stress - even when raids take place in other parts of the country or state.
In this episode, we speak with Shanna Peele, President of the Buncombe County Association of Educators, about how immigration enforcement actions are creating a climate of fear even in Western North Carolina's schools. Shanna shares how this shows up in classrooms and what educators are seeing on the ground.
"This isn't a political abstraction it's a public education issue what's going on right now, its a child wellbeing issue and that makes it an issue for our community."
For more in English on the impact of fear in WNC, you can also listen to our recent conversation with Enlace Latino NC reporter, Patricia Serrano:
