Hundreds of parents, most of them Muslim, held a protest in front of city hall in Calgary, Alberta on Friday.
The protesters held signs reading “let kids be kids” and “school is not a place for political activism.”
According to The Counter Signal, chants of “Leave our kids alone,” garnered responses from dozens of passing cars whose drivers honked in support.
According to the report on The Counter Signal, LGBT activists decided to refrain from creating a counter protest because, "It would be disrespectful to Muslims to show opposition to the protest."
“Any counter protest to the action at city hall will likely be used as ammunition for this hate group to paint queer folks as racist,” a source told The Counter Signal, who explained that the activists consulted with “queer Muslims.”
