The protests were organized after a teacher at an Alberta school berated Muslim students for not participating in Pride Month events, saying such defiance excluded them from being "people who can be considered Canadian."
In Calgary, the largest city in the Canadian province of Alberta, on the weekend of June 25, Muslim and Christian organizations and groups demonstrated jointly for the second time in a week, LifeSiteNews reports on the event.
Saturday's demonstration took place in front of Calgary City Hall, with well over 250 Muslim and Christian parents, children and other pro-family citizens protesting the extreme LGBTQ ideological push in public schools and chanting: “Let the children be children ".
A Muslim student gave an impassioned speech about being forcefully stuffed with all kinds of pro-LGBTQ ideals at school.
“My message to the rainbow people is that if they want us to listen to them so badly, they should listen to us. You want us to listen to you and respect your rights, then you should also respect ours. You are fighting to be called proud, and we want to be called women, not cis-women," said the student.
"You want your rights to be heard, and ours to be heard by no one. You choose to be selfish, everything is about your rights, you only pay attention to things that are not good for anyone but you. Leave your ideology outside the walls of the school," he added.
The Muslim student said she came to Canada for religious freedom, not to be forced to study something she disagreed with. "I go to school to learn, but not your ideology," he added.
One of the organizers of the protest, Mahmoud Mourra, told the Western Standard that he needs to protect his minor children so that they have the necessary freedom to make their own decisions and do what they want when they are old enough to make the right decision. .
About 50 counter-protesters also appeared in front of the City Hall, armed with flags and signs. In the end, there were no arrests or police intervention in the event, which resulted in angry arguments and fights with a heavy police presence.

Recently, more and more people across Canada have been speaking out against LGBTQ propaganda. Jonathon VanMaren, an author of LifeSiteNews, stated in a blog that Canadian parents are fed up with LGBTQ indoctrination aimed at children.
