How are those inconsistent? I'm getting very confused...
What if a parent wants to raise his daughter under strict Shari'a law--and therefore won't allow her to attend school at all, nor will he teach her to read or write?
Don't claim that never happens, either. This isn't a reductio ad absurdum argument--it's a real world example. Parents' religious or moral convictions are just not a good way to determine the curricula of public schools.
