Then I suppose we disagree on what "oppose" or "tolerate" mean

It's not an inherent obligation, but if you genuinely oppose those ideas, you'd feel compelled to argue against them if someone expressed them, or else remove yourself from the situation ASAP

I think of it more as the law looking away from any incidents on the day, and ignoring any lasting consequences after. Makes it neater.

But they don't encourage open thought and critical thinking. They basically tell you what to think.
