Cannot disagree with one iota of your thinking. In fact, my original post that posited that Tolerance has been weaponized and adopted like a secular god, implies just what you stated: kids are being forced via politically correct education to adopt/respect values and behavior contrary to their religious beliefs.
Schools actually sponsor gay pride days for instance while simultaneously prohibiting criticism from students who disagree and going so far as labeling such freedom of expression or freedom of religious belief as hate speech. The god of Tolerance is used to justify such actions.
Omitted from the thought process is that freedom of speech and religous freedom are specifically enumerated in the constitution while "gay rights" are a construct at best...yet almost without fail, the specific concrete rights are trumped by rights that have been 'construed' in incremental decisions.
