While I disagree with why she's openly hostile, I don't think there's necessarily a conflict for being so. If she were to get her way and the entire curriculum were changed to one that was no longer at odds with her Christian faith, I'd certainly hope that any reform minded people who made it onto the board would be openly hostile to the school system and if I had any I'd keep my kids out of it until that change were achieved.

Though I'm curious how she views her reforms as eliminating the unconstitutional nature of public schools. There's an argument there to be made (though it ignores 150 years of civil reality; though if Clarence Thomas can hold the view that the 8th Amendment should be frozen in 1787, rolling back views of government role in education back a 100+ years isn't so odd) but tinkering with the specifics of curriculum does nothing to address it.
