My friend rhysara who is a high school teacher up there posted about that today as well. A coworker of hers is running that show, and several of her students are in it.

They had a counter-protest against them about two weeks ago. People dressed as cartoon characters and such. I like how that highlighted the ridiculousness of the whole thing.
