It's not just Muslims. Catholics, especially Catholics from Latin America and developing countries like the Philippines, tend to be pretty conservative about this stuff as well.
I don't agree with their beliefs, but I doubt they care what you or I think of them. And it's easy to say school boards should just ignore these parents as ignorant rubes. But parents these days have options when it comes to schools. Maybe they'll send their kids to charter religious schools if they feel strongly enough. Then there's no integration at all.
