>>Liberalization is quickly taking us down to the lowest common denominator. If Johnny can't read then we need to make sure all his classmates can't either so he doesn't feel disenfranchised.
Is that the answer, then? Liberalization justifies criminalization of religious observance in the pursuit of the neo-catechism that everybody is an idiot? Especially women?
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
