It reads to me like everyone either exaggerating or making up incidents in some bizzare way to show they are more victimized.

The first bit for example, the accusation the school guidance counselor was casting out trans demons, that alone warrants a closet look but the story also claims that they passed out chocolate crucifixes? This sounds fake.

My take, social blindness towards not wanting to offend certain groups allows the schizos in those groups to get away with making shit up.

On Easter maybe? I could possibly believe that.

You're right though, it does all sound a little suspect.

I've never heard of chocolate crucifixes before. It sounds like the sort of thing an AI might think up.

Wouldn't eating the religious symbol of your god be offensive? Then again I guess communion is eating Jesus and drinking his blood so who knows.

Well regardless of the questionable symbolism, they exist. Although any I've ever seen are larger than the type of candy you might expect to be passed out at school.

Pedant note: Yes I know crucifix technically means a cross with Jesus attached rather than just a cross, and no I don't think I've ever seen that rendered in chocolate.
