It's "toe the line" ... but your polarization 'theory' is sound. As is your observation that 'we' refuse to polarize.

So it is. Oddly, I have memories of being corrected after having said “toe the line” though.

I don't doubt that. Idiomatic expressions can be tricky.

A line CAN be towed...as in pulling a line. But when one behaves in ways that are expected by 'authority', he is toeing the line (or mark) established by said authority.

No big deal. Keep on keeping on.
