Allowing bullying when it's a statement of a firmly held religious belief? What? No, no. Just no. Religions have been persecuted, but they are also an excuse to persecute, and bullying is persecution. I found this on an LGBTQ news site, but it's not just the LGBTQ community at stake here. Kids of other religions, kids of single-parent homes, you can find a religious excuse to go after almost anyone.
I'm going to cut this off before I lose my coherency as well as my temper.
