I'd prefer to have children who are raised with knowledge and understanding and accepting that other people are different. And then when they become adults they can make their own informed choices. I would feel horrible for any child who is brought up not being exposed to "differences" and not being permitted to even consider tolerance toward other. That sounds like abuse to me. When they're out in the real world, assuming mommy and daddy allow them out of the house when they're adults and legally allowed to make their own decisions, they won't know what to do when something they're taught to hate ends up being their boss at work. They will have been taught to fear, and hate. That's very sad. Pathetic even.

You very obviously don’t have kids
