"Love is love, except on Valentine's day, where love is hate speech"

Also, wtf is this:

Last January, teacher Carolyn Burjoski was forcibly silenced at a board meeting and handed a “stay-at-home” order after she raised concerns about illustrated storybooks in school libraries that dismissed the medical side-effects of gender transitioning — or inferred that a lack of sexual thoughts may be a sign of an asexual gender identity. “Maybe Rick (the protagonist in one book) doesn’t have sexual feelings yet because he is a child,” said Burjoski shortly before her microphone was cut off.

Yep, a totally normal school. Nothing to worry about the poor children getting "educated" there.
