There is not one single word in the text of prop 8 about education. Proposition 8 has nothing to do with schools or children of any age.

Society will force us to accept it.
I don't even know what this sentence means. If you told me "society will force us to eat a waffle" I would at least have a vague understanding of what that's about: a police officer shows up at your house one day with a lawyer, a waffle, and some paperwork. And he makes you eat the waffle. But how can anyone force you to "accept" anything? What does that even mean? How could anyone figure out that you don't accept gay marriage, let alone force you to change that opinion?
Lyndon Johnson signed the Civil Rights Act in 1964 - and yet 44 years later there are still people who do not accept racial equality. Even people who were not yet alive in 1964 are totally free to continue to not accept racial equality. I have met them.
