> We need to reaffirm the important dividing line between public life and private life. We need to untangle the political and the personal. Protest where policy is made, not where the people who make policy live and sleep and bring up their children. That should be obvious. It’s scary that it isn’t.
I wouldn't categorically say never, though I wish that were the obvious case. In some cases the problem may be that the policymakers are bringing their personal beliefs into the decisionmaking process, so they crossed the line first. There needs to be reasoning provided for policies that isn't based on personal beliefs or disguised personal beliefs. Show me the data! How can we tell the difference--we can't always, so sometimes lines get crossed.
