No need to emphasize "government" -- It's an inevitable consequence of schools.

Private secular schools have fights about what gets taught.

Private religious schools have fights about what gets taught.

Children have more rights in public schools than they have in private schools. Tinker v. Des Moines: "It can hardly be argued that either students or teachers shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate."
