    “British Columbia is under fire for a social media post that critics say appeared to compare teaching students about sexual orientation and gender identity to the genocide of Indigenous children in residential schools”

    How did the genocide of indigenous children part get left out of the title?

      The “residential schools” implies that, but seriously, it’s watered down when you don’t mention the whole “geonocide” part.

        It’s been a common schtick with idiots on the right. Vaccination and masking is like getting matched to Nazi death camps

        Diversity in sexual education is like residential schools and the murder of native children.

        Pretty sure they’ll be comparing themselves to the followers of Moses fleeing slavery soon. Maybe one of them can build a fucking ark.

        It’s ridiculous. We know it. They know it. But they still love to through it out there just to be combative and dilute the horror of actual atrocities by equating it to their bullshit.
