So the far-left ghouls in Oakland were not to be outdone.
At the San Francisco Chronicle, "Preschool protesters march in Oakland":

After storytime, the marchers made their own colorful and glittery star, then sang, “This Little Light of Mine.”That's child abuse, seriously.
The event was a marked departure from the late-night, anger-fueled protests in Oakland over the past several weeks, where people took to the streets to demonstrate against police brutality against minorities and specifically against the killing of unarmed black men in Ferguson, Mo., and in New York City.
The parents who attended the Saturday morning playground event said they wanted to participate in the Black Lives Matter movement with their children, but in an age-appropriate way.
“Many families aren’t ready to explain police violence to their kids and I can understand why, it’s complicated and scary,” said Andrea Ibarra-Tacdol in a statement. “Our families are ready to share stories about differences, to teach our little ones to appreciate the diversity of their friends, and to march with other families who believe that black lives matter.”
Neto Cornejo, 2, participated in the short march through the Lake Merritt farmer’s market seated in his red Radio Flyer push bike. He didn’t specifically chant for peace and justice, but he looked like he was having a good time.
“As a Latino person, as a parent, it’s become very apparent — the connection between the Black Lives Matter campaign and the Latino community,” said Neto’s dad, Dani Cornejo, citing common issues like mass incarceration, discrimination and police violence. “That’s why we’re out here, in solidarity.”
Lupita Martinez, 10, was among the older children at the event. She attended with the social justice scouting troop she helped start a month ago: the Radical Brownies, complete with uniform brown vests and berets.
It’s sort of a “brown beret, Black Panther” thing, said her mom and co-founder Anayvette Martinez. “It’s all rooted in social justice for girls of color.”
It was one of the first official activities of the newly formed and unaffiliated troop.
“I like to learn a lot about what’s happening around me,” Lupita said. “It gives me ideas about how to help.”
Two-year-olds cannot comprehend "social justice" and "mass incarceration." Indeed, it's not a protest involving children at all. It's about whacked out far-left parents strutting their "social justice" bona fides like a bunch of drugged-out peacocks.
I mean really. Leftism is like a disease.
