>>>No one is legislating morality--there's no legislation and it's not about morality. No one is being forced to violate his conscience. You're conflating two different paradigms.<<<

Legislation preceded this in Canada and may or may not be necessary in the US to continue forwarding the concept. Training people to reject their personal judgment in favor of prescribed thinking is close to forcing them to violate conscience.There may or may not be a grey area between retraining programs to force people to think one way (totalitarianism). I'll think on this for a while and maybe have more to say later.

Compelled thinking or compelled decision making rubs me the wrong way. The obvious examples are compelling people to select PC over their own thinking/feelings about things, which is already widely accepted. Example: We did good because we elected the first black president, rather than, we did good because we selected the best candidate to represent us. Maybe people thought Obama was the best candidate but that is not how many defended their choice.
