When I send my kid to school, it's because I want them to be trained in reading, writing, and arithmetic. I don't want the teacher to tell my child where she should stand on political issues or religious subjects. I also don't want my child used as a instrument to advance a social agenda. I remember being in elementary school, and having teachers who forced me to participate in their own political advocacy campaigns (thinking they were "educating" us). I resented it then, and now that I have the perspective of an adult I resent it even more. Teaching my child social responsibility and religion is my job, and it's a job I take seriously, so I don't need the school's help on this one. Have to say I agree with many of your points.
