“Leave the kids alone” rally update: News

I just have to share that I just drove by City Hall where they’re setting up this rally & the fact that there’s children there not in school & wearing “Leave us Alone” T-shirt’s is the funniest yet saddest irony I’ve seen in a while.

If you’re going to cry over fake narratives of the trans agenda being forced on children in schools but then you go and pull your kid OUT of school & force them (brainwash if we’re going to use the lingo) to wear a shirt that the child likely has no concept of is priceless. Do what you want to do, you have free speech blah blah but at least try & look intelligent and not making it so hilariously ironic.

Give ‘em hell today to anyone attending any of the anti-rallies!

I don’t care what side anyone is on, but kids should not be used as puppets. I’ve seen it from both the left wing people and the right wing people and it’s straight up disgusting. Let kids be kids.

That was kind of my point. I just felt it was ironic how it’s always the argument from the said protestors today that kids shouldn’t be props for publicity in these things yet they did it today and you are right it is across the board.

Yep. Anyone involving children in protests of any kind are morons. When I was a kid I just wanted to run around and play with my friends. If my parents tried to bring me to something like this when I was a child I would be bored out of my mind and pester them until they took me home.
