High school students reject 'International Day of Pink' and protest drag performance at Toronto-area school, hand out Bibles

A woke Canadian school board had students celebrate gay riots, drag queens, and LGBT activism Wednesday, cloaking children in pink garments and subjecting them to a performance by a transvestite.

Despite social pressure by both the Toronto District School Board and the York Mills Collegiate Institute to conform and participate, some young Canadians took a stand against what they characterized as indoctrination efforts.

'International Day of Pink'

The Toronto Star reported that LGBT activists, speakers, and performers were brought to the Toronto-area school as part of the so-called "International Day of Pink."

The website for the event says, "Every year, on the second Wednesday of April, we urge people around the world to put on a pink shirt and stand in solidarity with the 2SLGBTQIA+ community to continue fighting for equality and acceptance."

Accordingly, the activists who turned up to the school were impressing upon children the need to "stand up against hateful beliefs to keep the clock from turning backwards on our efforts towards establishing equality for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community."

Gay activist and Stonewall rioter Martin Boyce gave a keynote address to students on "LGBTQ liberation in the face of increased hate toward the community."

Boyce suggested to children that those at odds with the transgender and gay agendas are on the wrong side of history: "They are fighting us, but we're ready."

Boyce boasted in 2022 that LGBT activism was more organized and better funded than ever before, reported CTV News.

Students from grades 7 to 12 participated in the day's events, ate pink treats, and took in a drag show, where a female impersonator identified as "Icesis Couture" danced to Meghan Trainor's "Mother."

According to the TDSB, Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie and representatives from the Toronto Police 2SLGBTQIA+ Committee also joined in celebrating LGBT activism.

Resisting the pink shirts

High school students protested the event outside the school in concert with Save Canada, a group of young Canadians who seek to awaken other Canadian youth "to the corrupt agenda being forced upon them."

"We stand against this indoctrination, we stand against the attack on our faith," the group claims on its site. "The majority of the population kneels to the corrupt system, but not us. We kneel before God, and before Him alone."

Josh Alexander, the Catholic high school student suspended last November for expressing his religious and moral objections to an Ontario school's transsexual bathroom policy, attended the protest and handed out Bibles to students leaving the "International Day of Pink" event.

Alexander, with Save Canada, told True North’s Harrison Faulkner, "They're gonna do their best to silence anybody that voices any form of dissent to this," noting that extra to members of law enforcement speaking at the event, some officers ostensibly keeping the peace outside the school were allegedly wearing pink hats in solidarity with the LGBT cause.

One student suggested that the event was "Disgusting and pedophilic."

"I think that there's some agenda behind this, with the LGBTQ+ community," a student protester told Faulkner. "I don't mind LGBTQ at all, but they're trying to indoctrinate children ... and I'm not cool with that at all. Kids go to school to learn English, math, science, to socialize with friends, phys-ed. Gender identity stuff shouldn't be taught in schools."

One student protester told Rebel News, "I'm sick and tired of seeing all these pride posters in our school. They're promoting it and shoving it down our throats.

Dwindling freedoms

Faulkner noted that this protest wouldn't have been possible in the western Canadian city of Calgary, where the city council recently banned protests within 100 meters of a drag queen story hour.

Canadian state media reported that the council passed the "Safe and Inclusive Access Bylaw" in March by a 10-5 vote, thereby preventing people from exercising their free speech within 100 meters of an entrance to a recreation facility or library.

Similar prohibitions may soon be headed to the province of Ontario.
