I accept everyone for who and what they are.
I don't judge people.
I just pray for them and love them as variations of God's Creation.
That doesn't mean I have to participate in their movements or agendas.

Sticks and stones may break my bones, but names will never hurt me.
That's what I learned in school.
Just because someone calls you a name doesn't mean that's what you are.
I learned that in school too.
You can refuse to participate in the illusions/ delusions of others.
I taught myself that one.
And lastly....
What others think about you, is none of your business.
I think that one is gaining momentum.
That's a hell of a lot of money to teach your kids to be in lockstep with the woke.🙄

I probably said this 5 years ago, but it's not enough to accept alternative lifestyles, now you have to endorse them.

I have already stated we have the freedom to participate or not.
I think forced participation of any sort is a form of Draconian Fascism.

I grew up in the 80s, not once was anyone ever forced to do the pledge. In fact my buddy was a Jehovahs Witness and the teachers would ask who ever was JW or not feeling well could sit it out. No big deal.
