It is probably also a good time to address the obvious elephant in the room.
In order to give parents control over what instruction their children were getting in school, the government took away the parent's ability to consent to what instruction the parents wanted their children to receive in school and instead took it upon itself to restrict the instruction that children would receive in spite of what the parents may or may not think.

"The blind soldier fought for me in this war. The least I can do now is fight for him. I have eyes. He hasn’t. I have a voice on the radio, he hasn’t. I was born a white man. And until a colored man is a full citizen, like me, I haven’t the leisure to enjoy the freedom that colored man risked his life to maintain for me. I don’t own what I have until he owns an equal share of it. Until somebody beats me and blinds me, I am in his debt."- Orson Welles August 11, 1946
