Just when you thought extreme right wing rhetoric couldn't get any lower .... they start targeting children at their schools to hold their protests

======

“The biggest names in the Canadian far-right have pivoted to this issue,” Canadian Anti-Hate Network Deputy Director Elizabeth Simons told PressProgress.

“Many of the networks and influencers involved in the anti-2SLGBTQ+ hate targeted at school boards and drag events got their start, or at least their notoriety, during the Freedom Convoy and the COVID conspiracy theory movement.”

We must protect the children by terrorizing the children!

Jokes aside,

Anti-2SLGBTQIA+ groups, livestreamers and right-wing media personalities descended on the residential neighbourhood last week

I think the number of people winding this sort of stuff up as an opportunity to get their name out there and turn their bigotry into a career in right wing media shouldn't be underestimated.

Lowest common denominators .... internet personalities continually keep circling the drain looking for the lowest hanging fruit to gain a minute of fame.
