    Let’s set aside the LGBTQ context and take another example then.

    During the Convoy protests in Ottawa, the downtown schools were directly and adversely affected. Besides the health impacts of poor air quality and dangerously high decibel truck horns, kids were subjected to protests about masks that were mandatory for students attending schools and harassed by adults as they arrived.

    Given the blocked streets and protests around public transit, parents had to drop off kids blocks away and let them walk in through the protesters without parental support or supervision.

    There were some days that the schools had to close for safety reasons due to the risk of exploding nearby fuel stashes and unregulated open fire pits.
