    Stephen Bannon, the incoming White House chief strategist, previously headed Breitbart News. Critics call him racist, sexist and anti-semitic -- based on stories he published there.

    Imam Jihad Turk explains how Donald Trump’s victory has led to increased bullying and hate speech aimed at Muslim children, and what parents and other Americans can do going forward.
