Let's be clear what you were advocating: substituting *your* preference for what parents out to teach their children for what they believe is correct. Call it whatever you like, but that's what it boils down to.
Is that mischaracterizing what you said?
Yeah, it is. Teach is misleading. I was referring to indoctrinating, which I consider to be a way of imposing one's thoughts on others because they're not letting them think critically about these matters.
Because *you value critical thinking*. They do not. How is this not substituting what you judge to be valuable, over what they judge to be valuable?

No, but damn, it felt good, and it was a hell of a lot kinder than saying what I really think of your values, which by the way, I would defend to the death your right to teach them to your children, regardless of how reprehensible I might find them.
