Coming from a caste society might explain his belief that free speech means he gets to speak while those he considers inferior are required to listen quietly.
America doesn't work that way. Free speech means we all get to speak, including to freely rebut and criticize speech we disagree with.
Same thing with these LGBT issues in the school. The US Constitution guarantees all persons equal protection of the laws and thus equal access to the public spaces. This Moms for Liberty group wants to deny LGBT parents (and their allies) from equal access to the public schools.
It's a healthy debate but I'm confident that in the end the US system of political equality and freedom for all will win out.
If that makes someone from a country that doesn't even allow religious freedom think I'm a 'leftist,' because I support these core American principles of freedom, then so be it.
A great point, probably why he’s struggling with the topic.
