Racial incidents are appearing to pop up at an alarming rate in the nation's public schools. Many educators note a spike anecdotally, and social media can give such incidents wider and faster exposure. School officials acknowledge the incidents are more visible and brazen, fueled by a polarizing presidential administration, divided public and "meme culture." Still, there's a lack of hard data on racial incidents in schools, making some experts cautious about reaching any conclusions. Other experts say another factor could be how students share information through social media, with more of an emphasis on getting attention.
