Bigots have learned the power of organization because their whole operating model resolves around preying on societal outliers. This was as real in 1980 as it is in 2023. The problem is we continue to collectively dismiss them.

Absolutely. This is bad for teachers and students.

Yay. Now they're a federal society, and they've "had a lot of interest in BC..."

We've already had an attempted takeover of anti-SOGI types in local school boards.

This allows tragedies to happen. Don't enable it.

Just because they failed last time, doesn't mean they'll fail next time.

Exactly.

They only have to win once to destroy education. And it'll take years to fix if they manage to "take over" like they want to.
