I absolutely agree. Children should be protected.

One of the problems with toleration of discriminatory opinion is that children tend to adopt the opinion of their elders and heroes, yet haven't developed the critical faculties and impulse control of adults.

Children are going to be exposed to these things. It shouldn't happen at school. We have rules about that, and they need to be enforced. It seems FCA has targetted students and is moving, sometimes aggressively into lower level schools. So, we probably should keep a close watch to see that an unhealthy emotional atmosphere doesn't re-emerge in our schools.

It may be, that many of the FCA membership will understand the dangers of fostering discrimination and change their focus if they're informed of the potential damage they can do. That remains to be seen. The point that I'm trying to make is that hate cannot be effectively countered by hate. There's a difference between assertiveness and aggression. We can't teach love by hating. Neither can they.
