Let's not pretend you're totally cool with someone raising a kid to be a terrorist or serial killer or white supremacist or any one of 1000 things that we can all unanimously agree is 100% wrong.

I agree with most of your posts, but can't with this one. Legally you have to do xyz, fair enough (sorta), but morally? Who decides those morals? Can I swear in front of my kids? Can I voice my thoughts that religion is a load of bollocks in front of them, thus 'discouraging' them from falling for all that nonsense? Chat with them as older teens that sex outside marriage is fine? All morally 'wrong' to a great many people.
To be fair, I think there's probably 2 different conversations going on, one is that 'so what if my son wants to put on a dress', and 'I'm going to make my son wear a dress'.
The first I'm fine with, the second I'm not - and that would go for anything a parent forces upon their kid, aside from manners, safety, and a few other things I can't be bothered to think of. And even then, it's still none of my business unless they are actively encouraging their kids to harm others.
