What act are you talking about

I could sort of dig it until you started in on the socialist feminist line. While I'm not necessarily liking the name, I don't really see the problem with a group that is for giving women an option to be treated and live a little better than high class cattle or have the economic means to leave an abusive spouse.
That's really my main problem with much of the right. If they want to stick to traditional gender roles and all that other stuff, that's great, and that's fine, and good for them. I don't want to be that, so please stop trying to initiate social policies that will force me into that role. Stop with the social attitudes that put the onus of rape on the victims, be they men or women. Stop with the ludicrous policy of denying abortions, but then also wanting to deny any help to the women at all in the form of welfare, stop being okay with policies that let men get stuff like Viagra on insurance but that don't cover birth control at all even though BC has a lot of different medical uses besides preventing pregnancy, all while they sit there completely mum about the guys that aren't stepping up and instead just badger the women and go on and on and on about how the women are whores.
I am sick of hearing how all these social problems are the fault of women, women, women while these people sit there are say that men are the natural leaders and all that crap. If they want this nation to be fixed, then shut up, start realizing that a nation of female leaders means an absence of strong male leaders, and act accordingly.
As for this, the only thing that I see wrong with it is that it is age inappropriate.

I agree 100%. The kids are a bit young for this, I think. Otherwise, I don't see what the big deal is.

No your contradicting yourself. I never said anything about Valentines day.
Speaking of tolerance. Im willing to bet that you are only tolerant of those who share your politically correct values. Well I don't and I never will, so get over it. There is nothing you can ever do to "fix" or change me. So just get over it..

Well, if they aren't christian, what's their excuse for being so ridiculously stupid? At least christians have the feeble excuse of a few sentences in their holy book written inane control freaks thousands of years ago.
What on earth would compel any normal person in society other than religion to have such distaste for something so benign?

What people think and how they behave is no business of anybody else's - unless it infringes another's rights.

And teaching something in school that might not be in line with the parents belief systems , whether you agree with them or not, isnt infringing on THEIR rights as parents?
Just because you dont agree with a certain group of people doesnt mean their rights arent valid.....
Freedom and infringement have no preference.....it doesnt matter what ideology it is....
