I’m sure they were progressive modern open minded parents.
Yes, I’m sure they were very tolerant and open minded. I know of a case where a liberal church hired an ex-con as their nursery attendant. It was a woman who had gone to prison for child abuse! When some of the members of the congregation became upset, those in charge could not understand why they wouldn’t want to give the poor woman a chance. I doubt if any of their own kids were in the nursery.
