Drunk on rights? As in, “we need to stop giving too many rights to these people because it’s going straight to their heads”???

Yes, literally. I remember my mom giving me some literature talking about how this “new wave of tolerance” (and I’m paraphrasing, because it was so long ago that I can’t remember what it really said) was really intolerance against Christianity, because apparently tolerant people were trying to force intolerant people…

A friend of mine came out to me as bisexual when I was maybe 15 or so. I actually told her - and I am SO ashamed of this - that I was cool with it as long as she wasn’t actually dating any girls.

When I was in my early teens, being raised in a Christian setting, I was taught that “tolerance” was a dangerous word. I hate the amount of time it took me to unlearn that ridiculous notion.

My heart just broke for you. I’m so sorry.

Alternatively, maybe you aren’t ready for your kid to be on the internet if you feel the need to spy on them rather than having an open conversation about safe and responsible internet use.

I don’t get where the claims of physical abuse came from. Are they trying to say their ears were being literally assaulted, or some shit like that?

Really? Someone laughing with a group of their friends is proof of their loneliness?

Not only that, but it infuriates me that they call this disgusting competition “Senior Salute.” Like it’s something that’s their due. Like these younger girls have a duty to “honor” the seniors by having sex with them.

Wow. Just... wow. How terribly damaging would that be to anyone subjected to their counseling? I can see it now: “The only way to truly heal is to forgive your abuser, continue living with them, and shut up because making a fuss over it will only be embarrassing to your family.” Disgusting.

Fair enough. I just think that preparing children for “the real world” is (or should be) a gradual process. Others have pointed out that participation trophies pretty much disappear before middle school, which leads me to believe that kids young enough to be getting those trophies are a bit young to be told that…

Right... all the 8-year-olds I know have really solidified mindsets. I just shake my head in despair, because I know they’re too old to learn any better at this point.

Maybe not, but he did use religion to justify it:
