Examples: Parent does not believe in global warming.
Parent does not believe in race mixing.
Flip side of the above the school is in Alabama in the 1950’s and the parents believe in integration.

If a parent has personal beliefs not held by the majority, they should do some shopping around for schools. Public ed is definitely no long the only way to go and there are a number of alternatives (particularly in terms of religious beliefs) that are getting more affordable. In some areas, a parent may well be stuck either with home school or simply taking time to teach their values at home. Sometimes, a child may be better off learning majority values, though.

I think schools for some issues offer a counterpoint but not change a child's beliefs.

on issues such as global warming yes, for religion no, that is a parental choice. for example i was brought up atheist, my school tried to make me CoE, they failed.
