Racist Alt-Right Posters Appear Near Toronto Elementary School

"SNIP...........


Shocked parents in Toronto were faced with racist posters while dropping their children off at elementary school on Monday, one day after the U.S. president-elect made an alt-right leader his top advisor.

The posters, which appeared on poles near Parkside Elementary School, began with: "Hey, White Person." They rail against political correctness, immigration, diversity and "being told you're 'racist' for celebrating your heritage," and included links to white supremacist and alt-right websites.

"I saw the first one on a post outside the public pool on the same street and stopped for a moment to tear it down," said Ian Daffern, the father of a four-year-old student at the school. "My son didn't want to stop, and asked me what I was doing. And I said 'I don't like bullies.'"


Daffern soon came across a second poster, which he left up so he could report it to his son's kindergarten teacher. She said she would tell the principal, so staff could go around the grounds and remove all of them.

There are incidents as well. Canada has a lot of good people but we have our own rascists, sadly.
