Yes, decisions as to what is to be taught has to be made somewhere along the line by politicians. However I much prefer those decisions remain in the form of "This is the bare minimum curriculum we think our students should be receiving." As opposed to, "You shall not teach these facts."
Now, that rule becomes fuzzy when you start talking indoctrination and advocacy. Like Alex, my stance on this would depend entirely on what is actually being taught in those classes. If the class curriculum is nothing more than discussion of the existence and implications of separatist movements, and happens to be populated by students that happen to sympathetic to those movements, I would be firmly against any attempt to censor. If we're talking true advocacy (which, I'll be honest, I have a hard time believing), then it's a different story.
