We are a nation of laws and both of these laws must be respected and abided by.

Not talking about "the law". I'm talking about how people view this. Over time I've seen a number of comments in different threads as to why people are "entitled" to live here without being annoyed by young children. I agree. But why is that type of exclusion/discrimination palatable, when separation by race or gender or color of hair would be unpalatable?
