Ok, so what CAN we teach these days?

It was bad enough last decade when teachers couldn't point out student's mistakes for fear of hurting their "self-esteem".
Now we can't criticize because we might offend their religious and political sensibilities?
Are parents today THAT controlling that they have to breed their kids to believe EXACTLY the same things that they believe or they feel themselves failures as parents? Are they that out of touch with reality that they feel any attempt to present them with valid and factual evidence for an alternative is "pushing a political agenda" and "corrupting my children's upbringing" and all this crap?
Thanks to my education, I share neither of my parents beliefs in totality, and neither of my parents consider me in any way a failure, a loss, a "doomed soul", much less a "threat to our way of life or survival as a culture or society". Go fig.
