It's none of my business, yes, but guess what when they push it on my child it becomes my business since part of my job as a parent is to teach morality to my child.

You've gotten off topic again...unless "violence is bad" a moral you disagree with being taught to your kid.

voilance then should directly confronted directly. Not by forcing moral codes on the children. You can take tell the children you will not tolerate violance against other children. That is a legal statement. But when you say "respect" them thenyou are denying free thought and freedom of religion and parents rights.

Right on topic

Who said "respect"? They said "tolerate".

"To help keep diversity a wellspring of strength and make America a better place for all, I pledge to have respect for people whose abilities, beliefs, culture, race, sexual identity or other characteristics are different from my own."

This part of the oath they would require children to say. Note the word RESPECT and no were is the word tolerate.

Correction they use BOTH words... Even though then mean very different things.

"sexual identity...different from my own"

Note the use of the words "sexual identity" and not "sexual preference".

Is there a reason one should, as a rule, not respect men with feminine mannerisms?
