Question

How can disobedience be acceptable when the alternative is to discriminate against someone

Answer 1

disobedience can sometimes be acceptable by others when someone chooses to disobey his/her parent, such as when the parent wants that person to purposefully discriminate other people

Step-by-step explanation:

lets say a really bad parent is forcing his child to discriminate other students in school

the child that refuses to obey his parent's order is being disobedient to his parent, but is still counted as acceptable behavior by the school for doing what is right: to not discriminate other students

Answer 2

people who engage in civil disobedience operate at the boundary of fidelity to law, have general respect for their regime, and are willing to accept the legal consequences of their actions, as evidence of their fidelity to the rule of law. Civil disobedience, given its place at the boundary of fidelity to law, is said on this view to fall between legal protest, on the one hand, and conscientious refusal, uncivil disobedience, militant protest, organized forcible resistance, and revolutionary action, on the other hand.
