How to handle parental bullying and drama which negatively influence how these parents suggest their kids to act around mine

Almost all the parents at my kids daycare seem to disdain me because some activist spread rumors saying that i am a racist and that i teach my kids racist values.I don't care for my personal reputation, but this has negatively affected how their kids interact with mine as these parents warn their kids to behave a certain way, perhaps more aggressively, toward my kids because of the false allegations. Before all this my kid got along with other kids and the coordinator never reported any physical altercations. Now almost every time i pick up my kid, i am hearing stories of him getting into altercations, having behavioral problems and such. I tried getting him to act extra nicely with other kid, be extra courteous and attentive, avoiding any hostile mannerism as much as possible to no avail.It started when some lady saw me at a rally(not a trump supporter) and the people i happened to be near shared negative opinions about illegal immigration which i'm sure in her mind equated to racist and even anti black sentiments. I do have republican friends with whom i attended the event but they weren't outspoken or belligerent like the folks i was near. Incidentally, the lady who started the rumors is a staunch black activist(not that there is anything wrong that) and the parents at the daycare as well as the daycare coordinator are heavily involved in "activist" politics like bringing awareness to white supremacy and addressing institutional racism.She then told all the parents in the waiting room at our daycare about her seeing me and now i'm officially known as a confrontational, dangerous racist.I politely attempted to explain to the lady that i'm a decent person and have no hostility toward anyone because of his or her race, and she made such a big scene and yelled " go away" so as to attract massive attention and make me seem confrontational. This lady's friend outright took my phone when i was using it in the waiting room and told me that i shouldn't have it out because i "might" take pictures. When i attempted to retrieve it, she made a huge scene since it seemed as though i was attacking her. The coordinator doesn't want to get involved when i spoke about my phone which at this point is gone. No parent wants to hear it from me. One Hispanic lady i tried to communicate with outright told me to shut up before i could even get a few sentences in, which i'm sure happened because of the rumors. Merely being there is enough to attract unrelenting stares and opening my mouth is asking for a fight or for incessant screaming from these activist moms.At events organized by the daycare my kid is sometimes isolated and never has anyone to play with and it's so freaking hard getting any parent to cooperate so i'm not sure what to do. I hate hearing stories of him not getting along with other kids. I was thinking about moving my kid to a different daycareSorry if this post seems self absorbed. I really would like to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2amKZqP
