Our involvement is really about providing a reassurance to students and families that everyone should feel safe, said AMPAC spokesperson Aurangzeb Qureshi. The protest at Linday Thurber Composite High School was attended by at least two groups an anti-Muslim group called Worldwide Coalition Against Islam and another group called Soldiers of Odin and was held in response to a scuffle between students last week. There should be no reason why any student, regardless of faith, religion, cast or creed shouldn't feel safe in school. function set Cookie related path / ; Related Red Deer school condemns anti-immigrant protest sparked by fight between students Alberta politicians condemn Confederate-style flag displayed at Red Deer protest He said the organization is concerned to see groups such as Soldiers of Odin, which the Anti-Defamation League has labeled a hate group, on school campuses.
