On the other hand society should clearly draw the line at enforcement and protect those who do not wish to abide by their community's social norms. If a girl from a fundy family (of any faith) is beaten at home for flirting, that's a crime. If a kid turns out to be gay, the religious beliefs of the parents are no defense against child abuse. If an adult rejects everything about their parents' values, that's their right and should have the right to do so free from harassment. If she is harassed, she can get restraining orders against her family. If parents feel the science class violate their religious values, too bad. If an adult has a problem with working in a gender mixed environment, he or she is going to have a hard time finding a job. If he rejects having a woman, or a non white, or a Muslim as a boss, he's fired.
