Re: 鈥淕ender-issues talk in Oak Bay cut short as protests break out amid packed crowd,鈥 May 3.
Am I missing something in the reporting? A mob managed to disrupt and shut down a lawful organized event in Oak Bay because of disagreement over the sexual-orientation, gender-identity curriculum and what they labelled 鈥渉ate speech鈥?
I guess nowadays, all you have to do is feed the 鈥渉ate speech鈥 mantra and free speech in democratic sa国际传媒 is threatened, if not killed.
What has happened to politely disagreeing? What was actually accomplished? An example of what free speech looks like in Victoria these days 鈥 silencing others who don鈥檛 agree with you.
