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.

My brother and two sisters in law teach in urban areas, and they do not keep the parents "out of the loop", it is that many, many parents do not want to be involved and do not participate in parent/teacher activities. It is a source of great frustration to the teachers.
