NORTHAMPTON — Barbara Madeloni, head of the Massachusetts Teachers Association, has called on union members to join together to make Nov. 22 a day to "let students and parents know that love trumps hate, that we welcome all students and their families, and that we will provide places of safety in our classrooms, schools and colleges."
The safe-space declaration came roughly a week after Republican Donald Trump claimed the presidency.
Campuses around the U.S. have seen a rash of flag burnings, as students apparently distressed over Donald Trump's presidential victory are taking out their frustrations on a major symbol of America.
