School officials have taken steps to support a US primary student who reportedly has been bullied for the past two years because his last name is Trump.
Brandywine School District officials said Joshua Trump's parents raised concerns about their son's safety last week with staff at Talley Middle School in Wilmington, Delaware.
Officials agreed to allow Joshua, 11, to ride on a different school bus, but on his first ride on his new bus, other students "inappropriately repeated his last name multiple times".
The officials addressed the incident and said the school is providing additional support for Joshua, including mentoring, social and emotional support.
He has been given a name change in the database so that all staff refer to him by his father's surname, Berto, instead of his mother's surname, Trump.
