When it's the teacher's class turn to put on a show for the school, what if she wants all the boys to put on dresses and high heels to put on a fashion show? Should every boy be expected to do so?

What is so bad about it? Oh I don't know maybe the fact that every kid in school, boys and girls, will be making fun of him? Maybe that could be something bad about it. But hey who really cares about some little kids when there is an agenda to push.

I know you don't. It's hard to accept the idea that all cultures, all peoples, don't share the same values and aspirations as your culture does. It's a difficult concept to come to terms with.

It actually appears that he is saying that not all cultures, all peoples, share the same values and aspirations

Edit: Nope, he's from New England.
Yes, a very liberal secular humanistic society little different from your own.....and worlds apart from mine.

Telling people they can't wear a certain style of clothing doesn't sound like freedom nor liberty to me.

Exactly... so why do you care what a child in New England does, when he's worlds apart from your home? You are contradicting yourself, and making little sense in the process.

P.S. I'm not secular, and neither are the majority of people in "my world."

You're the only one who doesn't get that concept... I've now said numerous times that I don't care what you think, what your culture says or does, etc, etc. Meanwhile, you seem to think I'm being intolerant for ACCEPTING your differences? Wow, my head is hurting from the hypocrisy.
