Argument 4


Argument 4 Imposes itself on Educational Systems/Syllogism

Once a state legalizes (H), that is the act of same-sex marriage, teachers are forced to enlighten students on the subject which I believe to be wrong because many parents would prefer explain the subject themselves, or in some cases parents would prefer their child not know about (H) all together for religious/personal reasons.

(H) is imposing on society

Any act or state of being that is being imposed on society is wrong.

If (H) is being imposed on society, then clearly (H) is wrong.

 

The problem with this logically valid argument is that many ideas and acts are imposed on society, but we do not consider them morally wrong.  There are many murders in America each year, and though some may want to educate others in a private manner, it is important that we teach our children that acts such as this are inexcusable, and that there are mandatory consequences for committing such acts. This is definitely not a sound argument.
