How if it is is in addition to whatever standards are mandated by the
government? "You can teach whatever you want, but we require teaching
of the following." You are welcome to tell your children that what the
government is teaching is wrong, but the government still teaches it.

As long as adults are free to choose for themselves, I have no problem
with this. Any other policy has too many other issues. The government
can set limits on parental rights, but those limits need to be very
carefully considered.
