Is Your Tolerance a Clayton’s Tolerance Or Is It The Real Thing? by Steve McAlpine.
Remember Claytons? Remember the drink you have when you’re not having a drink? The non-alcoholic beer? … If you’re of a certain vintage in Oz you would well remember calling something a “Claytons” version of something else, a less than satisfactory or fake replacement.
The next wave of social engineering in our education systems is hitting our shores with a concerted effort to target what it calls “sham” tolerance.
What is “sham” tolerance? Well it’s a kind of Clayton’s tolerance towards homophobia that says all the right things, isn’t violent or aggressive, but hides behind conservative and so called “traditionalist” values whilst pretending to be loving towards the person. …
Educators are being urged to look out for a new form of “modern homophobia” — characterised by disinterest, disingenuous support or “sham tolerance” — as part of efforts to promote sexual diversity education in schools.

The guide, which coins a new acronym to describe its target group: DESPOGI, or Disadvantaged because of their Expression of Sexual Preference or Gendered Identity, cautions activists to be aware of “laggards”, defined as “conservative actors whose main aim is to protest or block government action” as well as “traditionalists” who try to ensure that schools safeguard conservative values and limit knowledge of liberal values.
Hey laggards, leave them kids alone!
So laggards, your days are numbered. Conservative actors you’d better get off the stage. If you think there’s going to be much wiggle room left by the time they sliced and diced and dissected absolutely every part of public discourse on this one, you’re being hopelessly naive. …
Clearly this is aimed to paint anyone into a corner who attempts to affirm a person’s dignity, value and worth, but still disagree with them on sexuality matters. …
You just won’t be permitted to protest your innocence in matters to do with homophobia, because they’ll always be one step ahead of you. Always. They’ve got the time, [taxpayer] money, zeal and increasing political and legal capital to do it. …
Tolerance is a way to push enmity subterranean where it is never fully dealt with. But the ability to strongly disagree with someone and still be able to say that you love them is a uniquely Christian thing.
