So you can hit your larger children under this proposed law? Of course, you can still mutilate your childs genitals in California. To ban that would be racist.
I’ll assume you’re talking about male circumcision, since female circumcision is illegal. And given that assumption, what you believe is mutilation, is called out specifically in the Bible.

And we’re not talking about a tiny minority of the population who take offense at the drop of a hat, or any possible interpretation of words. Your expression was highly inflammatory.
