ST. PAUL, Minn. – St. Paul Public Schools is deploying counselors and social workers to help local students process the traumatic election Tuesday that put Donald Trump in the White House.

District officials told TwinCities.com that more than three-quarters of St. Paul students are not white, and many are struggling to cope with the election results after months of media reports about the allegedly devastating impact of a President Trump.

“A first grader expressed worry to his teacher that his family might be sent back to the country where his parents were born. A Muslim middle schooler said her dad didn’t go to work today because he was afraid,” Patrick Bryan, principal of the Capitol Hill Gifted and Talented Magnet school wrote in a letter to parents.

“Students expressed worry that World War III would occur,” he wrote.

The district’s “supervisory counselors” patrolled schools that were “more impacted by the results” on Wednesday to offer emotional support to those grieving Hillary Clinton’s historic loss, spokeswoman Toya Stewart Downey said, noting that St. Paul schools’ new contract with the teachers union added dozens of counselors, social workers and psychologists to its payroll.

“If there are schools that seem to be over capacity (in terms of the support they can offer), we will look to deploy support staff from the district who can provide additional support,” Downey told TwinCities.

Clinton topped Trump in the Land of 10,000 Lakes – 47 percent to 45 percent – with tallies in areas near Duluth, Minneapolis and St. Paul outweighing voters in rural areas of the state, according to Google’s election breakdown.

And it’s not just students who are having a hard time accepting the new president.

In downtown St. Paul Wednesday night, a mob of agitators chanted and toted signs while they blockaded streets in a collective tantrum over Trump’s victory, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.

“Their ranks grew as they marched west on University Avenue, blocking both sides of the street and shouting expletives about Donald Trump in English and Spanish,” according to the news site.

“LaVonne and I didn’t vote for Trump. I’m not a ‘Trumpladite,’” said JoAnn Hendricks, 67, who attended the downtown protest with 80-year-old LaVonne Ellington. “That’s why we’re here. We didn’t know what else to do. I’m really sad.”

About 300 people attended the downtown protest Wednesday, including Callia Blake, 17.

“This guy, he’s a rapist, he just is awful,” Blake told the Tribune. “I can’t take that; I can’t do it.”

Principal Bryan, meanwhile, is working to assure students that their school cares deeply about them, and is encouraging families to “focus on their own local community.”

In Trump’s victory speech early Wednesday, he emphasized that “now it’s time for America to bind the wounds of division.

“It is time for us to come together as one united people.”

He also made a promise to the American people.

“I pledge to every citizen of our land that I will be President for all Americans, and this is so important to me,” Trump said. “For those who have chosen not to support me in the past, of which there were a few, I’m reaching out to you for your guidance and your help so that we can work together to unify our great country.”
