No genuinely, 100%, actually, fuck that. Forget gender, lgbt, and all that for a moment. In a very general sense, a teacher has a duty to society to challenge children and teach them to be better people. Sometimes that will clash with the bigotry and racism held by their parents, and that’s a good thing. The moment we prevent teachers from trying to make a better world is the day our society ends.
Until the pendulum swings, like it always does, and the right wing grabs hold of all of these tools that the left has created. And then you’ll be told that you have no choice regarding the changes they will make. It’s best to leave that authority with parents.
