Seriously. Bad comp. 
Christian Nationalism is the hottest new trend on the right currently, is it not? 

 I think the "targeting our children" bit is grossly overstated, but again, I see why folks are worried about it. 
I don't expect you to alter your critical stance on how much that is or isn't happening. 
I've said it now exactly FIVE times in this thread that children should not be sexualized or exposed to sexually charged topics before adolescence. Not sure why my posts receive retorts implying otherwise at this point. 


And remind me again, how many gay pride parades have you attended? 
Oh, zero? 
Right, that's because no one expects you to celebrate it.

I understand what you're saying but the comparison does not take into account the acuteness of each. Christians are openly and joyfully denigrated by those on the left without consequence (but I've yet to see one burn a Koran or openly criticize Islam, curious, huh?) while someone who misgenders, or questions the gender movement, are demonized, persecuted and sometimes fired from their jobs. There are no displays in retail outlets 'celebrating' Christianity, as there should be. There are no schools and universities demanding absolute adherence to Christian dogma or they'll be kicked out or fired, but we see that every day when it comes to the gay and transgender narrative. And for full disclosure, I'm atheist, so religion is not a driving force in my life. However, I can see the clear differences between the force of narrative between the alphabets and religion. If I tell my child's school I don't want religion forced upon them, no problem. If I tell my child's school I don't want gay and transgenderism taught to them, I'll be persecuted.

What "consequence" should come to a left leaning person for "denigrating" someone else's religious beliefs exactly? 
I'm curious what justice should be meted upon them? 


Regarding the bold: 
Is it actually being taught to them? 
What percentage of children in the United States right now are being taught gay and transgenderism in school?
Of the 90,148 public schools in our country - how many have installed this curriculum? 
I'd love to know, because reading this thread you'd think a very large number of them are ramming it down the throats  of kids prior to the age we are accustomed to basic sex ed being introduced. 

I contend it is likely a minuscule amount, but that amount is being magnified and creating an uproar. 
Which is fine. I get that on some level. But I don't believe there are systems in place for teaching gay and transgenderism to children in public schools on any scale truly worthy of the outcry. I don't object that being addressed. Though I think a message of acceptance is warranted. 
And I support parents having a choice as to whether their kid is subject to any of it. 

By the way - many parents already elect to send their children to one of the 34,000+ Christian schools in America.
