> How is the publicly elected government planning curriculum somehow less indoctrination than a parent doing the same?

Unless the parents' house has 200+ kids in it and equally numerous teachers, then their children will often be exposed to a wider range of viewpoints in a school.

I also don't fully understand how being publicly elected affects the curriculum. Reading into the curriculum being taught is very tinfoil-hat. Many teachers are still largely autonomous, and while they must meet certain standards, are free to teach cursory information of their choosing.
