What disagreement? The school systems get their curriculum mandates from the DOE and the NEA. So, I think we are more in agreement than not.

Parents, of course, need to instruct their children but the education system is very powerful and the students desire to be accepted by their peers and teachers are very powerful.

Parents are kept out of the loop as much as is possible when it comes to the indoctrination of their children. This is more prevalent in urban than rural areas of our country in primary education. When they advance to college age, all bets are off as to providing an alternative to radical thought.
