I feel bad for the children in this picture. Personally I think this is child abuse. Forcing politics / religion on children should be fucking illegal.

Absolutely. Me too.

That's hard though. The kids obviously have fun, it's a game for them.

So what's the abuse? Them giving the finger? Come on... Them unknowingly giving a (wrong?) political message? Yeah, we all know where that would lead to.

To me the real abuse was putting it on social media without obscuring the children.

Look, if you want to have ostentatious heteronormative sexuality in your own home, that's fine, just keep it away from my kids.

The abuse is filling impressionable minds with lies and hate, when they are the most vulnerable. That shit will scar you for life.

I'm more of the mind that government intervention without clear child abuse is overreach but that's just me.

If they made indoctrination illegal religion would disappear in two generations. So I support it.

From my experience growing up going to a Baptist church this is a Christians wet dream. You would think indoctrination or religion is illegal based on some sermons I've had to sit through.

Forty-seven states in the U.S. require the Pledge of Allegiance be recited in public schools.
