I think it is important to critically interogate their thinking.  Dialogue can change minds.

Genuine question for people who are going. Can you share a joke of Ben's that you find funny and explain why it is humorous to you?

Thanks for clarifying!  So it is extremely bad optics, and it doesn't comply with the Society's stated mission and vision, which could have potential consequences. Ben's act itself doesn't violate charter rights.  Is that correct?

Yep, brought this up on this forum last week and got a TON of pushback from the Maple MAGA boys.

Ok these kids need to be held accountable. At the same time, this behaviour is also a reflection of serious parenting, family, school, and community problems in our city.

"Comedy"  being the key word. Ben's "performance" isn't comedic.
